Sorry, I somehow missed your question
This is Colonial unofficial scout knife.

In continuation of my post of Oct 20, 2015

VERY nice Scout knives Vit_213.


I just bought this knife for best offer. It's a CAMILLUS, 3 blade, scout pocket knife with bail. It is the "75th ANNIVERSARY - BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - 1910-1985 pocket knife. It looks like it's in EXCELLENT condition and won't need any cleaning. I'll look it over when I receive it, take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Excellent pick up Skip!
I have been looking at those to. I think I will eventually get one for my Scout knife collection.
Congrats on the new addition.

Hey Skip - nice snag, here's an advertisement from the February 1985 Boy's Life promoting your knife - hard to believe that was 35 years ago

Thank you Tom. Time does go by quickly. That is a nice looking advertisement.

Thank you Mike. There were a couple of 75th anniversary knives on eBay as of last night.

Took me a while to find this thread but here it is, my fist BSA Cub Scout knife! Got this one from Ryan. It has beautiful blue scales and my first ever punch blade. Thanks Buddy!

And Thanks for looking!

For me, it is the ultimate EDC. The screwdriver and awl, in other words, the tools that WILL close up on you and cause you to bleed (especially the awl) have locks, but the blade does not. It is just right in my sizing, and the slotted screwdriver will fit most Phillips screws. If I need a can opener, I'll attach a P-51 to the bail using a tiny Nite-Ize S-shaped carabiner that came as a part of a modular keyring (I took all the S-Biners off to use as lanyard attachments).

Will do, Thanks!

This morning, this knife joined my collection. It is 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 a few pictures, here it is.

Received this one earlier this week. Camillus #1047 Boy Scout Swell Center Whittler. It has the later tang stamp ('89 until they closed) with the round scout shield. This is just as I received it. I've only oiled the joints.
