I have this Keen Kutter cutlery set. It was gifted to me by Charlie Campagna (upnorth) back in 2016, after my first trip to the OKCA show in Eugene.

You seldom find KK boxes with the cutlery intact. Nice gift.

Here are some Official Scout items with the original boxes. Note the prices on the utensil sets are less than $2 retail. These are getting harder to find with the boxes.

I just picked up this schrade walden box for the 3'' 974 congress pattern. I just so happened to already have two examples of said pattern.

Good job Paul. Be careful, you'll be searching for boxes to match all your knives if your not careful.

Thanks guys.

Keith, I've been meaning to get some old schrade boxes for a while now. They are not real hard to find. I think from now on I'll be picking up any good ones I see if the price is right. :D

I don’t know how you all can collect have such eclectic collections. I have trouble collecting the elusive FJ’s. Although, I would love to have a FJ box. :)

Cool Dan, Charlie is like that.
I know you liked the paraphernalia Mike and Wayne your knife man cave must be something to see.

Keith, you stay pretty focused. Lee and Paul good collecting and good fortune in your hunting.

Finally found an American Shear & Knife Co to go with the box I got several months ago.It's 2 3/4" long and dates about 1870-1914.I found on ebay and thought it was a wood handled knife,after closer inspection I believe it's horn handles.

This is not my first CAMILLUS Eagle Scout pocket knife, but it is my first one with the box. The knife is in near mint condition and needed no cleaning. The box is in excellent condition.

The closest I can do to matching the box to a knife at this point is this Ulster. The number on the box is faded, but if I am correct in making out the first 3 digits, then this whittler stamped "31550X" could be a possible candidate.
