This morning, my trip to the post office produced these two knives. First two pictures, an unbranded, single blade, wire handle pocket knife. More than likely, a GEO SCHRADE. This knife came out of the scout style, utensil kit, that I bought last week. The seller thought it might have a 1935 patent date, it doesn't, it's a 1926 patent date. It didn't require much cleaning. Here is the link to the whole kit. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46672&start=2415#p820931
The last two pictures are of a CAMILLUS, 3 blade, Boy Scout pocket knife with bail. It is the "75th ANNIVERSARY - BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - 1910-1985 pocket knife. It didn't need any cleaning. I took pictures of both knives, here they are.

Very Nice Skip. Getting early in the Geo Schrade date. Loving the Camillus Scout Knife.

Well, I finally received the Yellow Handle Kutmaster today in the mail. The only thing I've done to it is add a little oil to the joints and work the blades. You are seeing it as it came out of the box it was mailed in. I believe this was a drawer queen for a while. No rust anywhere, just some light staining, and blades are stiff, but have loosened up since I've worked them with some fresh oil, with good snap. I believe it will clean up a little more with some case paste. Will work it into my EDC rotation. It's 3-3/8 in. closed.
The Main blade tang stamp reads
KUTMASTER
UTICA, N.Y.
U.S.A. T-1

Nice one PB! I'm not often enchanted by knives with yellow scales but it can happen. Case & Camillus knives can enchant me with yellow and as it turns out, Kutmaster can as well. As it happend with that Kutmaster of yours!
Can't say why, but it "Flicks my Bic" so to speak. I like it! Great find!
( I do have a weakness for Kutmaster because they made some of the Purina knives that I like so much! )
Anyways, congrats, nice find!

Thanks Tom. It being a Kutmaster as well as the condition was the draw for me. But yes, Like yourself, there are some that have yellow or white scales that I like, and others not so much. Just whatever strikes me.

Well, I finally received the Yellow Handle Kutmaster.....

That's a very nice looking knife Smitty. I have a few yellow handled knives myself, all Camillus.

[New_Windsor_NY]

This morning I picked up this knife at the post office. It's a CAMILLUS (1047), 3 blade, federal style shield, Boy Scout, "whittler" pocket knife. I gave the blades a minor cleaning. Pictures were taken and here is the knife.

[Steve Warden]

Kinda like yellow cars - on some it looks great, others, not so much.

[WillyCamaro]

Like this combo...

Very nice find Skip!


Exactly Steve!


Nice Combo Willy!

Not a knife, but knife "stuff". Strop Bros 4 sided strop and what I hope to be a decent oil pen, after those plastic ones tend to leak on me.
...and some of the stuff I hope won't leak on me.

[Quick Steel]

EDC, Do you know what material is covering your strop?

[New_Windsor_NY]

This morning I picked up this knife.....

Very nice find Skip!

Thank you Tom.

EDC, Do you know what material is covering your strop?

"Three sides of this 12" strop have a 8" x 1.5" piece of fullgrain cowhide flesh side up, perfect for stropping. The other side has the leather hide side up."

EDC,Thanks for the info. I just ordered a strop from them.

That on is in pretty good shape and also a silver shield.

Hope you like it! Hope I do too for that matter, but it seems really good.
FYI, I ordered on 6/1, so it isn't a long wait, but apparently they're in my town so it may take a little longer to get to you. Not really any communication after the sale, so don't worry if you don't hear anything about shipment.

Thank you Floyd. I'm 99.99% certain that Camillus only used the "silver" shields. Imperials are the ones with the "gold" and "silver" shields (below).

[doglegg]

You are probably right. I can't remember a golden shield on a Camillus, but there are a lot of things I can't remember.

Appreciate it skip. Yep, 'm kinda fond of Camillus and Kutmasters

Well except for the Camillus Cub Scout Knife. But it may be more of a copper color, but I've seen some that almost looked gold.

You're right Smitty. I should have specified CAMILLUS Boy Scout knife, 1047 pattern.

Irregardless, as we say here in the south...."You done flung an itch on me for that pattern." I been watching a couple though.

Would that be from the early 80’s? Looks like the one I had/have that I can’t find. I could swear it was dark blue. I have my Dad’s but it’s brownish black from I guess the 50’s-60’s.
