I stand corrected on the one junior scout I listed as having green bone handles; they are stag. Good catch guys & thanks.

Yeah, Blue.

...there's no brass on it anywheres.

I just picked this one up this morning, a Fidelity Knife Co. "Scout Knife". Does anyone know this company or anything about this kind of scout knife?

Nice looking knife...

...are the handle's brass?

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 6:15 pm

Nice one ,Mike.

.....I know Camillus made a similar one.

vikingdog · Post by **vikingdog** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 6:52 pm

Thanks Bob and Johnnie. I appreciate the info Bob.

It's brass and not in bad shape. I cleaned the blades up and oiled it and there's good snap on both blades. I guess I'd better leave the brass as is.

philco · Post by **philco** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:34 pm

I like it Mike. First one like that I've seen.

The brass handles are way cool.

Phil

vikingdog · Post by **vikingdog** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:04 am

Thank you Phil. At first glance I thought it was a knife with the scales missing. The seller said that's why no one wanted to buy it.

I'm really loving this website - seeing the pictures gives me some ideas on photographing my knife accumulation. I bought this Official BSA pocketknife, made by Imperial, about 15 years ago while on a trip to Camp Dodge, Iowa. I passed a large indoor flea-market type store, and accompanied a buddy who was trying to find a stuffed toy for his adult daughters collection, I browsed around with another pal while we looked at all the junk and stuff. I saw this BSA knife and thought it looked similar to one I had as a Boy Scout that was later lost by one of my younger brothers. I photographed it on my old uniform, which is from the mid to late 1960's, I think the knife is from the late 1940's or early 1950's - which would be similar to my knife; much of my stuff was hand me downs from an uncle and several older cousins. Ps I bought this knife for $5.00.

Nice knife Old Hunter and great photo. Pretty cool that you still have your uniform. Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow no less.

I wish I still had mine, it's from about the same era as yours but I never finished the requirements on my Eagle award.

philco · Post by **philco** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:15 pm

Old Hunter you are right on the money with the time frame for that knife. That model was produced from about 1949-1955 according to Official Scout Blades by Ed Holbrook.

That is a great photo you composed. That uniform takes me back to my days as a scout as well.

Phil

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Tue Oct 11, 2011 1:17 am

Thanks gents. Of course me and the knife just get older (and better) with time - this knife is one of my most useful, residing in my desk drawer - gets called on several evenings a week to still earn it's keep - and it works as well today as it ever did.

wazu013 · Post by **wazu013** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 10:14 pm

Here are two Bokers and an A.G.Russell. The Walnut Boker is their 140th anniversary knife.
I hope you like them.
