Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Very impressive scout knife collection indeed! Not only some rare knives but some hard-to-find Remington ephemera as well. Thanks for showing them here, and welcome to AAPK.
FYI if you have not seen it there is a very good article in the September 2014 issue of Knife World concerning "Red, White, & Blue Utility Knives". Some excellent photos and info on red, white, and blue scout knives from various makers, and the Remington Golden Oak Chest display boxes. The author states that these boxes were shipped with a RWB knife in every other slot in the box.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Holy Scout knife batman.....what a fantastic collection.......many Remington knives that I've never seen before.
The elusive Remington's are of course the so called Spanish model and the Heroism model of which I've only seen pictures; I guess we are all looking for the same holy grail(s).
Some of those MOP's are fantastic......Is your collection ever on display?

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
This Remington Girl Scout dates at the end of the DuPont era I would say around 1938/39 .

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I'm with Ken - I thought I had a formidable Official Scout collection worth photographing and posting but I don't even find that Remington Girl Scout knife in any of my catalogs or books, unbelievable. Good thing I was wearing a fresh bib!

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
My thoughts on this knife ....
My first thought when I purchased this knife many years ago was it was a lunch box knife meaning it came out of the Remington factory custom made by one of the workers or possibly a one off special order piece .
Knife is all original even the patina . If you notice the bail it has no lines near the pin side so that would make it most likely made around the pal/Remington transition .
No pattern number and if it ever had one it would have been an ink type from that time period and easily lost .
I have studied this knife over very carefully and have shown it to a few big Remington collectors and all agree it was born with the handles that are on it .

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Long time collector, new to the AAPK forums. However, I have shopped AAPK and picked up a few nice artifacts from the stores over the last couple of years. I thought I would post some pictures of my collection per Phil's suggestion, here is my display cabinet and some highlights:

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).
