The bone handled two blade EZ Opener a couple of pages back was made by Robeson, but the U.S.A. on the tang stands for United States Army and dates from WWII.

Just got this IMPERIAL, Prov.,R.I., USA scoutie about an hour ago in Parsonsburg, MD. Iron, multi-layered liners. Aside from some fading of the red Delrin, and tarnish on the bale, it appears to have never been used. Absolutely untouched factory edges on the main and punch. Etch is perfect, (can't do it justice in the reflective photo). Anybody know the years of the red Delrin scales? Happy Day! :D
Thanks, J.O'.

Here are my latest scout knives, some from the bay. The short line Camillus I got at a gun show, been wanting a Camp Glo for awhile. I Made my first purchase from the AAPK store, a Buster Brown shoes scout. Thanks Lee!
Does anyone know anything about the Solid Steel tang stamped one? I'm guessing German 30's 40's??

LOL, this is an expensive hobby we're involved in.... I've been collecting newer scout knives lately. I bought a few from Tom Cosgrove. I think he closed his online store and was selling on AAPK after that. Not sure where he went as his store is empty.

I'll post some of my scout knives in the near future. I have to remember how to post pictures again. :)

Picked this imitation stag up. Little patina but looks unsharpened. Full blue left on the punch.

I’ve seen plenty but to find one with the blade still
etched is rare .
Although the composite handles on these are pretty stable they must be kinda gassy because I’ve never seen a mint example , dark and rusty blades are the common , but then again I bet Jim has one lol .

I thought this would be the best group to ask about this. I'm looking for a BOY SCOUT SWISS ARMY VICTORINOX HUNTSMAN WOODBADGE KNIFE. I had one once but gave it to a friend of mine that completed the his Woodbadge. I'm back to collecting scout knives that have a real meaning to me from my many years as a scout leader. I'll start posting pictures of the knives I've collected recently in the very near future.

If anybody knows where I can purchase one of these knives, please let me know. Here's the only on-line link I could find with front and back pictures of the knife. The knife handle imprint with the axe in the log (woodbadge symbol) is very important.

I hope that I inserted the link the right way. ::dang::

If you haven't done so already, you might want to post this over in the Victorinox forum and in the "want to buy or sale" forum....
