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.

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.

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 ::tear::

Thought I'd share a couple pics for reference

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

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.

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.

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.
