Good for you...keep the tradition going.I ordered this one from the Official Website, and it showed up yesterday. My oldest grandson (6 Years old) just joined the Cub Scouts. I checked with my son and DIL before ordering, to make sure they were OK with it. I wish I could gift him my Cub Scout knife, Camillus made in the late '50s. I might still find it, but it'll take some looking. My mom was a den mother, good memories...
I haven't opened it, so I'll report on it after I give it to him, and have a chance to inspect it.

My daughter (age 8.5) has the same model of Cub Scout knife, and it is her favorite. She also has an older US made Girl Scout knife (and really her own small collection of knives). She prefers the Cub Scout to all the others. She used to have a US made Scout knife that she traded during one of my GAWs for the Cub Scout. The bright blue scales and locking awl are real kid pleasers.I ordered this one from the Official Website, and it showed up yesterday. My oldest grandson (6 Years old) just joined the Cub Scouts.

There just seems something wrong about official Boy/Girl Scout knives made in China.I ordered this one from the Official Website, and it showed up yesterday.

) until finally the Stockman became available again. Definitely pleased with the purchase.
I bought a cane at an antique mall that was made in China. I said, "Ooh, 'fabrique en Chin!' It must be from France!".There just seems something wrong about official Boy/Girl Scout knives made in China.
Where ever they are made,or by who, they are made to whatever specifications and quality standards the Scout Commission sets.

The US Scouting movement didn't start until 1910/1911 (first scout manual was in 1911). All the Scout knives should be made where Scouting got its start.
(sarcasm is is difficult to convey in written words.)

You should be glad that scouting still allows members to even have a knife at the meetings.
Above rant was me not afishhunter. Don't know why everything goes wonkey today??
Boker Stockman pattern (single blade) in copper/burlap . This was a dealer exclusive from the big knife pusher in TN. The Stockman and the Barlow caught my eye immediately when I pulled the catalog out of the mailbox, but when I went to snag one they were already out of stock. I kept checking back (not obsessively or anything if that's what you're thinking
Thanks! I'm not the most knowledgeable, but I'll answer the best I can. The pull strength is what I would consider about ideal, definitely on the firm side though (6-7??). As for the walk and talk: it is smooth, but judging it next to my GEC's it could be smoother. Very nice strong snap though. No half-stop.

But they didn't get it.
Or it wasn't funny.
