Imperial scout knife

[Rottonj]

Hope this is the correct forum to post this. I have seen many of these models missing the Phillips head. Wondering what people are doing for a fix. Take it apart and replace with suitable piece. Find something that fits or is useable? Replacement part available? Also wondering a ballpark for the year of this knife, its in decent shape , needs to be cleaned up but I like it as is too. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated. Thank you.

Mig weld on a Phillips bit.

That was my first thought too, I cut one down but still have to notch it so it doesn't stick out as much. That is probably the easiest, not correct for the look though. Just looking for options, thanks for the reply.

I’d put it into my glove box for emergencies, and pretend it’s just a 4 blade scout knife.

I like to repair things if I can, I usually keep multitools in my vehicles but always have something on me. I constantly change what I carry. These days it's more newer stuff, but I go through periods of carrying my Kamp Kings or Camillus knives. I will play with it when I get some time and post back if it's worth looking at. Not sure how to tell if it's bone or plastic, I will examine it better for clues. Thanks for the reply.

Since it won’t be original again, and it isn’t the strongest screw driver anyway.

Try to think of some other tool that could be welded on.
Make it uniquely yours. Maybe a small drift pin? I find a pin to poke out a hole useful. Maybe a file? A drill bit? Reamer? The key to your mailbox or briefcase? A mini Marlin spike? For those stubborn paracord knots.

That's a great idea! I will post back once its completed.
