Boy scout knives advice

[expressox]

Anybody know of knife makers other than Camillus that make boyscout type knives? By boy scout knife I mean a knife with a main blade(duh!), can opener, bottle opener and awl. Preferbly in jigged bone or wood handles, not red cellidor scales like Swiss Army Knives.

Remington, Ulster, Cattaraugus, New York Knife, L.F.& C., Pal, Imperial, Good luck. J.O'.

I'm not aware of any USA company currently building scout/utility knives. There are, however, plenty of good lightly used models available on ebay. My wife has a few for sale in her AAPK store, Archway Cutlery.

along with what John (Ridgegrass) and Phil (Philco) have said, vintage official knife manufacturers also include Bear & Sons, Buck, Frontier, Gerber, Ka-Bar, Kershaw, Kingston, Presto, Robeson, Schrade Walden, Utica Cutlery Company, Wenger, Western, and Zippo. You might want to look at https://www.scoutshop.org/camping/knive ... nives.html which is the Official BSA Scout Shop that sells Case, Buck, Leatherman, Helle, and whole buck of Chinese manufactured knives.

The only decent knife I saw with a main blade, can opener, bottle opener, and awl is the Swiss Army Tinker, the other https://www.scoutshop.org/bsa-deluxe-po ... 15782.html is a $30 Chinese manufactured knife.

Caveat Emptor!

Or simply go to eBay and do a search for scout knives - there are hundreds available, from multiple makers and eras.
