I've noticed in your pictures the small hill lines and the signs. Are those old military trenches or redoubts? Awesome knife by the way?

You are correct. It was a Civil War fort.

You are correct. It was a Civil War fort that was used to defend Winchester, Virginia.

That is awesome. thanks.

Going to town for errands - post office, a stop at NAPA for windshield washing fluid, chow at one of our fine eating establishments, groceries, and a doctors appointment for Cindy. No breakfast. This Remington Baby Trapper re-pro will be a nice carry for the trip.

Another summer day here in the City by the Bay! Making a trip to the grocery store to get the stuff I forgot. That’s what I get for not remembering my list . One of these three beauties will tag along. Haha a great day folks!

Hi, all.

I've gotten a bit tired of carrying the same usual alox SAK that's been in my pocket the last few years, so I'm sort of re-examining a bit of my traditional knife collection. Carrying my favorite Camillus Engineer's Knife today.

Rumor has it that I'll be pocketing a late 30's to early 40's Remington RS-3333 scout knife tomorrow. I'll try to remember to snap a pic.

Nice. Camillus included a inline punch.
My same era Imperial Engineer's knife deleted the punch in favor of a pen blade ... like an engineer would have no use for a punch.

If not for how much the scissors in my Huntsman (and the available if needed multi purpose "package hook" when the SAK saw isn't the right saw (when I need to cut metal, or a longer wood saw is needed, and a jigsaw blade fits the task) have spoiled me, I would probably carry one of my scout knives, my Engineer's knife, or a Demo knife.
I believe the scissors is my most used "blade" or tool. I use it at least 3 or 4 times an day now. (An little bit less than before I retired.)

Maybe I should get a belt sheath for my "mustache"/pointy "school" scissors and tote it and a a 4 blade Scout (etal) for an while, starting next month?

I think I might have an Imperial like yours. Black covers instead of bone? Kind of big and chunky? I'll have to see if I can find mine tonight.

Yep. Bakelite(?) covers and short screwdriver. I don't believe they are celluloid. I "think" the mark side cover/bolster gap is due to being overly trimmed or the mold was a little short. No indications of outgassing anywhere on the knife.

(Kodak used black, brown, and I think green bakelite for cameras in that time frame. I had a black bakelite 620 roll film Kodak TLR camera, and a brown bakelite 127 roll film Kodak "Brownie" camera back in the 1960's. Both were "point & shoot" with fixed focus and fixed exposure. (Tho the "Brownie" could use a removable flash with bulbs.)
