Camillus Cub Scout
Found a very nice blue Cub Scout knife for $10 today. Looks never used, blades are very tight with great snap and half stop on the main blade. The bottle opener and leather punch blade have little liner locks, the main blade doesn't lock. The Cub Scout emblem on the handle is worn away a little, otherwise knife is like new. A solid little pocket knife, very well made, that I would have loved to have when I was a kid in the 60s.

Are you sure? Camillus began manufacturing official folding knives for the BSA in 1947...carrmillus wrote:...my first knife was a Camillus cub scout,got it in 1942-43
