Camillus Boy Scout knives
Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
Here's kind of a definitive answer all on the BSA knives. There were handles in the early 60's that had the round BSA emblem for the #1047....more confusion.

That's my picture that you've used twice now, without my permission.
The pocket knife pictured is NOT a CAMILLUS 1047 scout pocket knife.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
The photo shows absolutely different model, and this cannot be compared with Whittler #1047. Camillus did not use the Delrin Studs method for all models.Real1shep wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 4:14 pm Yeah, I wasn't sure how Delrin could(or would shrink). I could see it happening with bone. The knife you posted above that is early to mid 60's I assume is bone....hence the shrinkage?
So this member's knife is the 'look' I'm going for now that I discovered my '61 was a three rivet handle knife:

In my photo, the knife has composite handles similar to Delrin, but less stable. Genuine bone does not shrink.
I really appreciate the work of the author of this site, but I am ready to argue with him on many points . Several years ago he appeared on the forum (I don't remember, here or BF), but I never saw him again.Real1shep wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 6:47 pm Here's kind of a definitive answer all on the BSA knives.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
OK, then I'll stick with that pic of the early 60's 1047 that you posted. But is it true that those early 60's 1047's could have the round scouting emblem like the author stated?Vit_213 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 29, 2021 9:25 pmThe photo shows absolutely different model, and this cannot be compared with Whittler #1047.

Hopefully that's a pic of your own knife and you won't be slammed using it like it's a patent/copyright infringement issue.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
This afternoon, I added this CAMILLUS 1047, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, scout "whittler" pocket knife to my collection. It's missing the shield. It needed some minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
Thank you Tom.
You don't have to keep your fingers crossed,
I'm not looking for a replacement shield.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
I've pinged him a couple of different ways without a reply (yet) ..... I suspect the lack of content contributions and funding killed the site ..... when I learn more I will post it here.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
I picked this one up today at a Collectibles Shop that opened up this month in the small town north of me. It is a Double line Camillus 1047 Scout Whittler. Great shape, no cracks in the handle, which is common around the bottom of the shield, blades have great snap and doesn't appear to have been put on a stone since from the factory. Blades havent been used, no wobble, with just some tiny scratches. The only thing I've done is oil the joints and wipe it down.

Great find, Smitty. There's something about a long match-strike pull that really appeals to me!

Appreciate it Dan. I agree, plus the 72 pattern is one of my favorites.
