The All Scout Knives Thread

[johnnierotten]

Your welcome. ...I'm always on the look for those 2 for 1 money deals.

[WelderBob]

OH thats a pretty neat Kutmaster, I haven't seen one with that blade set up...I like it...

Here's a 5 blade Ulster, it's allmost identical to the military model they made except it has brass liners and no bail.
So I'm thinking maybe late 40's or early 50's...what do you guys think..?

[johnnierotten]

Yeah....I believe your right about the era.

[johnnierotten]

My latest.....Robeson strawberry bone scales.

[johnnierotten]

Two more...Challenge Cutlery and a Case 640045 jigged composite scales 1940-64.

[WelderBob]

Very nice Johnnie... ...two I don't have is a Challenge and a Strawberry Robeson....

You are filling up that display case pretty quick...

[johnnierotten]

Thanks Bob.
Now I have to figure out which ones that I want to put in the display!!

[Just Plain Dave]

[johnnierotten]

Thanks Dave..

Got my hands on this, from what I can see, rare, Crosman Blades Scout Utility Knife. According to my Knife Guide book they were in business for 3 years.....

It's the only scout I've seen with a linerlock.

A couple of questions.

Does anyone know of a book that focuses primarily on scout knives?

For a utility knife to be considered a scout, is it not needed that it have some identifier e.g. a scout associated shield, or perhaps words engraved on a blade?

Does a bail alone qualify a utility as a scout?

Any input will be appreciated.

Can of Worms Alert !!!!!


Just kidding Q S . It's my opinion that any knife specifically produced for the Boy, Girl, Cub, or Brownie scouts or other similar organizations would be appropriately called a "scout knife". In addition, the four blade (or three, or five bladed) utility knife can be properly referred to as a "scout knife" even though it may or may not have a shield or etching referencing "scout". As it is used today "scout knife" is a very broad term. Others may have a different opinion.

Thank you Philco. I'll keep an eye on those worms for sure.

[johnnierotten]

Bail is optional..

[Quick Steel]

Thanks JR,

Go to Ebay and search the term "Scout Knife" I think that will sum it up for you

[bestgear]

Look what the mail-lady brought today.....a brand new Official Boy Scouts of America knife model from Sarge Knives......this is proof that an America company can brand imported knives and put a quality product in our hands and more importantly the hands of out youth.......I appreciate everything about Sarge especially their friendly attitudes and can-do mindsets......The fit and finish on this beauty is equal to anything in the Offical BSA lineup.......proud to have this in my collection and in my book coming out next year.
