This is not my first CAMILLUS Eagle Scout pocket knife, but it is my first one with the box. The knife is in near mint condition and needed no cleaning. The box is in excellent condition.

The closest I can do to matching the box to a knife at this point is this Ulster. The number on the box is faded, but if I am correct in making out the first 3 digits, then this whittler stamped "31550X" could be a possible candidate.

This NYK box is marked with the pattern № 2355 & there was an eBay dealer that recently had three of of them for sale, but I didn't put two & two together until grabbing the box to take photos of it, but now the dealer no longer has them available. ::doh:: ...but here are three that fit inside...

This Schrade Cutlery Co. box is not in the greatest condition, but it will make due until something better comes along...

Here's what I believe is an early Schrade Walden box based on the graphics being nearly the same as the older Schrade Cut. Co. box with one of my favorite Butter & Molasses knives...
11985

This Schrade Walden MoP lobster originally came in this gift box including the instruction that appear to be printed on tissue paper...
11983 11984

It appears like it was never taken out of the box...

Great additions to the thread, Ken! ::tu:: I really like the Ulster whittler with the double pull on the main blade.

Thanks Dan... with such a strong spring, it can only be opened by the nail nick, so I guess the long strike was for decoration only.

Today I added this to my collection, another SCHRADE 863, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. This 863 came with the original box. It required no cleaning as it is in NEAR MINT condition (the knife). I took some pictures and here's the knife and the box.
