Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Try rubbing your finger back and forth briskly over the handle material til it generates some heat then smell it, if it has a chemical odor it is comp. Might be harder now that you soaked it in oil but worth a try.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I assume there was a can opener blade, in your third picture down the usual cutout where the nub?? for opening the can opener blade is visible, with the nub (piece of metal) still there? If there is or was a can opener there, Sellens lists it as a K6353, generally made between 1921 and 1934. Also says the saber spear narrows the date range to between 1921 to 1926 and also lists it with fiber handles from 1921 through to 1923.cato wrote:

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Knife is listed in the catalogs as 3 1/2", with the bolsters and bail listed as nickel silver. Handles look a little shrunk, but generally in pretty good condition. As I recall you have come up with a couple or more interesting old Keen Kutters in the last while.

Recently acquired this old green bone Clauss. Only Clauss I've seen in this pattern, stamped 27 on pile side tang. Looks like a Case 6445R, maybe Tested era?

That looks like a nice one Paul. Can't tell for sure from the picture but it looks like the blade etch is gone? None of my RS3333 are that clean.KnifeSlinger#81 wrote:This is the only scout of mine I think would qualify, not sure if I've posted it here or not. Remington rs3333

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Thanks Ken. You can barely see the remains of an etch, but not enough to to tell what it said. One reason I like this one so well is the threaded bolsters, most of the rs3333's I see don't have that, maybe it was only on older ones? Tang stamp is 1924-33.Mumbleypeg wrote:That looks like a nice one Paul. Can't tell for sure from the picture but it looks like the blade etch is gone?
