This is my favorite Beer Scout, well non-officially a Soda Scout. It was advertised as linen Micarta, but ended up being paper Micarta instead. We've got a lot of history together. It was only my second GEC, and was my first SFO. My first Beer Scout. My first Micarta slipjoint. It's the knife that gets carried around in my pocket at night. Oddly enough, it's opened a myriad of beers, but I don't think it's ever opened a soda.

Hope nobody minds a bump to this thread. Found it trying to find out what my Camillus was actually classified as. Still not 100% sure lol
To my knowledge, too - GEC had released knives branded as "Cap Lifter" with spearpoint and clip point blades. Then there were some branded "Radio" that were standard Tidioute runs, and Charlie did an SFO Diamond Northfield Radio Jack with his #15 Harness Jacks. The scouts, whether Beerscouts or "Soda" Scouts, I think, have always had a sheepsfoot blade, so have the Crown Lifter branded knives.
A "Beer Scout" has a non-locking half length bottle opener/ screwdriver secondary "blade".
A "Radio Jack" has a full length screwdriver/wire stripper secondary blade.
On most (but not all) of the "Radio Jacks" by various manufacturers I've seen, the secondary has something similar to a liner lock to lock the blade open.
