Re: The All Scout Knives Thread

Thanks for posting the Scout Hero article. My uncle, Charlie Cann, was a scout and saved a kid by pulling him off some electrical lines in my hometown in Ohio. The BSA held a big parade for him and gave him a large certificate commemorating the action. I have a picture on my phone somewhere of the c...

Re: Private message on hold

Thanks knifemonger! I would love to see it. Is it on the AAPK store?

Thanks!

Steve

P.S. I guess the problem with the message I couldn't open just went away. FYI, I did fully remove my previous message by hitting go at the end.

Re: Private message on hold

Yes, I guess I did at first, but I deleted page after page until none were left. The message on hold came from Knifemonger (i believe). Maybe I'll just try to contact him directly.

Re: Looking for a Case Boy Scout Knife

Hey guys, I wanted to partially revive this old thread. I've been trying to get my hands on these scout mini trappers for the past 10 years, on and off. For awhile, you could still see these on several knife retail web sites - not for sale, but just for archival purposes. The one that really interes...

Re: Anniversary Knife?? 100 years of Scouting

Hi Tim! Good to see a fellow scoutmaster on the site..

I bought one of these for myself and would like to keep it of course. I have seen these on ebay you just have to keep looking until one shows up.

Good luck!

Ontario, Condor and Topps knives are all on my maybe list.... I also looked at the Fallkniven line of outdoor knives but they appear more like kitchen knives (no offense to Fallkniven fans!).
