I think we’ve seen this belt knife before, but I still like it!

Toting a couple of Imperial BSA scouts for Sunday.

In remarkably good condition! Obviously never toted (and abused) by any of the Scouts I’ve known.
When you need to use one of the blades, how do you decide which one? Whatever comes out in your hand?

This is a Do Nothing , Sit Around kind of day and I have these Feel Good knives in my pockets .

Both are beautiful, Harry!
The top one is remarkably similar to the one in @Auglaize117’s post. Looks to me like a perfect shape.

Thanks Gary, I get a lot of enjoyment reworking an old knife and putting it back into service I enjoyed hearing of your once a year Christmas tree jacket, on a somber note my father had what he called his Funeral Suit and the inside pocket had all the pamphlets from many funerals I like the Christmas jacket of yours a lot more

I think I’d have liked your Dad.
My sport coats only get worn for weddings and funerals these days, so there is always detritus from both in the pockets.
And when you reach in your pocket and pull out a memorial to a friend who died a year ago, it’s darned near impossible to toss it out!

I've decided to keep an Alox Cadet on the key ring for a month or two at a time, and change the other knife out weekly. So, for this coming week my pocket flotsam includes my new Boker Barlow with Bog Oak.

For the last 30 or so years, I’ve carried a back-up set of car and house keys in my left pocket. It comes from two things, knowing from experience how easy it is to lock oneself out of one’s car, and having to drive into the hood for work.
I keep a Wenger Esquire on that key ring.
I never show it in this thread, but it is the one knife I always have on me. Well, as long as I have pants on!

This is a wonderful Wenger!
Any idea of it’s age?

You must have known The Cheeky Scouts Jeff!

Beautiful knife. The burl he's using on those is outstanding IMHO.

Tony Bose designed Case TB62117 in SS for today.

Good idea with the key spares, I used to do the same but live in an apartment nowadays and have to go through the office to get in if my keys are lost/ stolen. I do keep my vehicle keys separate from the others. If they get lost/ stolen/ locked in the vehicle I can get a ride back to the hut and get the spares.

I figured since I was beginning to always throw a Cadet in the pocket, why not just add one to the keys and swap them out every once in a while.

Many thanks for your kind words JJ Stunning Sunday Scouts there my friend

Thank you very kindly, Jack!!!

Have a good week folks

Very cool pairing adding the USMC Camillus to your Hartshead beauty; it's quite a burley and handy camp pattern!

Cheeky Scouts indeed!
As an assistant Scout Master, I saw a lot of abuse. My favorite was seeing boys lash their Scout knife to a pole and having “spear” throwing contests.

Nice Isk

Thanks Jack!

Love this!!! I really like the vintage Wenger and Victorinox knives. They can be hard to find and many command good money If you don't mind you should post that one in the Multi Tool/Knife forum

Thank you Paul! I was pretty lucky getting this one, condition and money wise.

This is a wonderful Wenger!
Any idea of it’s age?

Thank you! I think it should be the late 50s or 60s, because the background of the shield used to be red. Before that in the 50s they had a dark (sort of black-ish) background but were otherwise the same.
