Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
...greg, I have looked at the handles on mine with the 45X magnifier jerry sent me and I'm still not sure if the handles on this one are synthetic or black dyed bone. the surface is not smooth like synthetic mat'l, it could be bone???...... ........

Those white ones had a habit of developing a handle crack at the shield.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
I forgot about these two. The first knife technically isn't a "scout" knife. The second knife pictured, yes.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
I’m reading up on the different styles and length of cap lifter/driver. How well do they work for Phillips screws?

Maybe someone will come along who has and will share the experience.

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
Thanks! I understand that Phillips came later than the flat head screws, but it seems like some of the styles might just work in a pinch. I see at least 3 different lengths of cap lifter and the longer styles seem to have a more narrow head.
The victorinox cap lifter is a small flathead but doubles as a phillips

That is bummer I was hoping the longer more slender cap lifter patterns would fit

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
Both Ulster and Imperial made scout/utility patterns having cap lifters and a Phillips screwdriver. You can frequently find them available on eBay, reasonably priced if you look a little. i don’t have a picture handy but you’ll undoubtedly find some in the All Scout Knives thread.
