It reminds me of the Hunter,Trader, Trapper Remington knife. It too was a premium for a subscription to their magazine. Most of the keen Kutter Boys life knifes I've seen are in bad shape, because the clear celluloid handles decomposed. This one is pretty nice. You don't see these very often. For $1.00 you could get a subscription to Boys Life and a knife with your name in the handle. I remember looking forward to getting my copy of Boys Life each month when I was a kid. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-B-S-A-B ... 337eb3fabb
It sold for$316.99. Not bad for a Keen Kutter pen knife.

And celluloid that might begin to deteriorate next week.

I posted this knife earlier. It had a broken spring and a super kind member sent me an original replacement I sent it off to have it replaced. Look at the pic and see if you can tell why I immediately called and returned it. Several things are wrong. I hope he can make it right. I am not a happy camper without his scout knife

Yep...the caplifter should be at the other end ...and, in front of the master blade. :shock:
The bail is obvious. ::nod::

Actually, they made them in this configuration as well, it`s the model R7A

The one you just described is the model R7.

I agree it does look odd ::nod::

They are much harder to find than the one with the can opener at the opposite end of the main blade.

Don't know if it's an optional delusion or just my poor old eyesight, but the bolsters and handles don't like they fit the frame, looking at the cap lifter/screwdriver end. Also, is that bail attached to the knife??

I have three of these configured exactly the same as the one pictured except the removable bail is in place on mine. So, what is not right with this knife? ::shrug::

Have the holes for the bail been soldiered up?
