A couple hard to find LF&C 2 blade official scouts , slight variations between the two .
Always looking for Mint pre war scout knives
Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
killing me softly with those knives Mike, hope I get a chance to coon-finger them in Lakeland in a few weeks. They punch both my LF&C and Official Scout knife buttons.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I don't often fondle, but when I do, a pair of Official Landers, Frary & Clark 2 blade easy open knives would be my first choice (OK maybe my second choice).
I'm still not going camping with you Ron.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I picked up this KEEN KUTTER scout/camp knife to restore but the seller didn't show pic of back scale where a chunk is missing.
Looks like I'm sending it back
Thought I'd share a couple pics for reference

Even with the chunk missing it's a beautiful piece of cutlery.

Sweeeet Mike, that's a cornerstone of any Scout knife collection. Imagine all of the fingernails that knife saved!

H. Boker & Co. Solingen Germany. Left handed junior scout.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Beautiful knife!
Very interesting bail, don't think I have seen that design before on a Boker.

Thanks MRB. Boker used that particular bail for quite awhile on earlier knives, though it mainly was used on the Sportsman pattern and was slightly larger. I've attached some pictures of a couple of Sportsman's knives with the same bail for comparison.

Excellent, thanks for showing the sportsman's knife. That's a fancy bail and makes the knife look so much better

I picked up a Girl Scout camp knife several years ago, cleaned and sharpen it up and gave it to my Niece who was in the program at the Time.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Maybe someone here picked up this rare Ulster scout. eBay sale closed at $635. No, I don't think much of that price was allocated for the Camillus electricians knife.
