ronfish -- Welcome to AAPK. Glad to have you aboard.
I've seen knives for sale on eBay by an individual using the ID ronfish. Could that possibly be you?

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Very cool Scoutknives, I have a few in the box myself from PAL and Made in USA. Beautiful examples of the Kingston Official Scout, I am very jealous of that! I have yet to come across one is such nice condition with a clear etch, worthy of the diaplay.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
First it was ScoutKnives making us all drool. Then along comes ronfish with more great scout knives. That's called piling on! welcome to AAPK! Some really wonderful stuff y'all are posting. Just curious, were either of you involved in scouting, either as Boy Scouts or adult scouters?
One if the reasons I collect scout knives is that I was a Boy Scout (made it to Life Scout rank) and later an Assistant Scoutmaster. I am proud to say both my sons are Eagle Scouts.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Thanks for the kind sentiments Ken and I agree, Scoutknives has cornered the market on the early scout knives! Great stuff! I was boy scout but did not have the opportunity to Eagle due to parents divorcing and ensuing relocations. I was a Den Leader for my youngest boy's Cub Scout Pack for a couple years. I love scouting, fishing, outdoors, etc (starting to sound like a dating ad).

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Here are a couple Ulster Knife company very early non official Boy Scout knives , very uncommon Be Prepared banner and propeller shields . 600 scout knives makes a note about these knives but no pictures and these are the only two I have ever seen .
Has anyone else ever seen or own either of these ?

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I have been trying to talk an old collector out of one of those 4 blade Ulster's with the Be Prepared shield for a few years. Bail is still intact and not quite as well carried as your specimen. Very cool artifacts!

I would be very interested to know the history and how ulster was allowed to use the Be Prepared shield were these knives predate their Lisense to make an official knife .

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
No visible etch but there is some patina, so it is possible there is some trace under that. My understanding is that the 4 blade was unofficial as you suggested and the square notch on the screwdriver blade was for adjusting roller skates or auto lamps. Based on documentation I have read, indications are that "Be Prepared" was the BSA motto but the words themselves were not registered (at least at that time). Eventually, the BSA put a stop to all of the unofficial knives that used a "scout" reference. I believe that was in the War era......early 40's. These 2 knives are very early 1900's i suspect, probably teens or 20's if I had to guess.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I never collected the 2 blades because I have been a bigger fan of the 4 blades scout knives as a whole. However, in recent times, I have changed my tune in order to keep expanding the collection. I do have a really sweet Buffalo Bill NYK Co unofficial 4 blade.
