JR I truly do appreciate you guys setting me straight. I'd hate to let incorrect information stay unchallenged or uncorrected on this or any other thread.

Interesting difference JR......I like them both!

Mine came in a box the same size as the Norman Rockwell knives, did yours come in the Camillus box in your pic?

I'll photoraph my box and paperwork so you can see the difference.

Here's a scout camper that I picked up at a garage sale. It looks like it had been rusted badly then beat to death with a buffer. the interesting thing is the tang stamp which simply states UNION nothing else. Even that is hard to make out. The knife is very well made with half stops and real nice brown bone scales. Have any of you guys heard of UNION? It looks like an old Camillus job. In fact it looks like the KABAR Wosey has pictured above. Any information would be great.
Thanks,
wazu013

Union Cutlery Co. was (according to "Goin's Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings" ) the predecessor of the Kabar or Ka-Bar brand.

"Ka-Bar" was first used by them in 1923 but became so popular that they eventually, about 1951, changed the name of the company to Ka-Bar.

Wazu perhaps there's a good reason why you thought your knife looked like Woosey's.

A few new ones, New York with a cool looking punch and nice bone handles.

Camillus Junior with the strongest back springs I've seen on a knife its size...I had to resort to a knife pick to on the canopener.

Welder Bob that NYK scout is fantastic !

I would think that any collector of vintage Boy Scout knives would love to have that one in their collection.

I noticed this Remington on ebay. It has a long pull instead of the usual short pull. It still has the RS3333 pattern number on the back of the blade. It's a variation that is rarely seen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-REMINGT ... 5d3455630e Not in the best condition, but still a unusual one.

The "little guy" is Kokopelli. He's all over the desert southwest.

thanks...if one pays attention, you can tell what part of the southwest a person lives by the color of dirt on their tires...
