None that I'm aware of.

Actually they made a 75th anniversary Cub Scout knife with jigged blue bone scales....there's a pic of mine on page 50 on this thread.

Phil....If it wasn't mine....I would have never remembered.

Bestgear ...your shield is a bit different than mine.

JR I truly do appreciate you guys setting me straight. I'd hate to let incorrect information stay unchallenged or uncorrected on this or any other thread.

Interesting difference JR......I like them both!

Mine came in a box the same size as the Norman Rockwell knives, did yours come in the Camillus box in your pic?

I'll photoraph my box and paperwork so you can see the difference.

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:53 pm

Yeah...mine came in the box in the pic.

.....I like'm both too.

Hurry Up & get well JR things are falling apart w/o ya!
Well maybe not falling apart, more like coming loose @ the dovetails.

Had another scout knife show up w/o even trying.
cCc member sent a few users that were in his way.
KaBar 1152, not a brand I'm familiar with but looks okay to me.
Cleaned, oiled, sharpened, ready-2-go.

Here's a scout camper that I picked up at a garage sale. It looks like it had been rusted badly then beat to death with a buffer. the interesting thing is the tang stamp which simply states UNION nothing else. Even that is hard to make out. The knife is very well made with half stops and real nice brown bone scales. Have any of you guys heard of UNION? It looks like an old Camillus job. In fact it looks like the KABAR Wosey has pictured above. Any information would be great.
Thanks,

Union Cutlery Co. was (according to "Goin's Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings" ) the predecessor of the Kabar or Ka-Bar brand.

"Ka-Bar" was first used by them in 1923 but became so popular that they eventually, about 1951, changed the name of the company to Ka-Bar.

Wazu perhaps there's a good reason why you thought your knife looked like Woosey's.

Heres a couple Scout related knives...

Cute little SAK you have Johnnie....

A few new ones, New York with a cool looking punch and nice bone handles.

Camillus Junior with the strongest back springs I've seen on a knife its size...I had to resort to a knife pick to on the canopener.

Very nice New York!

johnnierotten · Post by **johnnierotten** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 12:03 am

Thanks Bob.

I surely like the 2 you posted..

philco · Post by **philco** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 12:11 am

Welder Bob that NYK scout is fantastic !

I would think that any collector of vintage Boy Scout knives would love to have that one in their collection.

Thanks' guys, I've been hunting for that NYK scout for a while...it even has a faint etch on the blade....

knife-nut · Post by **knife-nut** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 12:55 am

I noticed this Remington on ebay. It has a long pull instead of the usual short pull. It still has the RS3333 pattern number on the back of the blade. It's a variation that is rarely seen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-REMINGT ... 5d3455630e Not in the best condition, but still a unusual one.

here are mine ,do'nt think the little guy is a scout though!

philco · Post by **philco** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 2:41 pm

The "little guy" is Kokopelli. He's all over the desert southwest.

Is that his switchblade ?

thanks...if one pays attention, you can tell what part of the southwest a person lives by the color of dirt on their tires...
