This morning, my trip to the post office produced these two knives. First two pictures, an unbranded, single blade, wire handle pocket knife. More than likely, a GEO SCHRADE. This knife came out of the scout style, utensil kit, that I bought last week. The seller thought it might have a 1935 patent date, it doesn't, it's a 1926 patent date. It didn't require much cleaning. Here is the link to the whole kit. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=46672&start=2415#p820931
The last two pictures are of 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 pictures of both knives, here they are.

Well, I finally received the Yellow Handle Kutmaster today in the mail. The only thing I've done to it is add a little oil to the joints and work the blades. You are seeing it as it came out of the box it was mailed in. I believe this was a drawer queen for a while. No rust anywhere, just some light staining, and blades are stiff, but have loosened up since I've worked them with some fresh oil, with good snap. I believe it will clean up a little more with some case paste. Will work it into my EDC rotation. It's 3-3/8 in. closed.
The Main blade tang stamp reads

Nice one PB! I'm not often enchanted by knives with yellow scales but it can happen. Case & Camillus knives can enchant me with yellow and as it turns out, Kutmaster can as well. As it happend with that Kutmaster of yours! 
Can't say why, but it "Flicks my Bic" so to speak. I like it! Great find!
( I do have a weakness for Kutmaster because they made some of the Purina knives that I like so much! )
Anyways, congrats, nice find!

Thanks Tom. It being a Kutmaster as well as the condition was the draw for me. But yes, Like yourself, there are some that have yellow or white scales that I like, and others not so much. Just whatever strikes me.TPK wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 5:48 amPapa Bones wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 4:06 am Well, I finally received the Yellow Handle Kutmaster today in the mail.

This morning I picked up this knife at the post office. It's a CAMILLUS (1047), 3 blade, federal style shield, Boy Scout, "whittler" pocket knife. I gave the blades a minor cleaning. Pictures were taken and here is the knife.

Not a knife, but knife "stuff". Strop Bros 4 sided strop and what I hope to be a decent oil pen, after those plastic ones tend to leak on me.
...and some of the stuff I hope won't leak on me.

"Three sides of this 12" strop have a 8" x 1.5" piece of fullgrain cowhide flesh side up, perfect for stropping. The other side has the leather hide side up."

FYI, I ordered on 6/1, so it isn't a long wait, but apparently they're in my town so it may take a little longer to get to you. Not really any communication after the sale, so don't worry if you don't hear anything about shipment.

You are probably right. I can't remember a golden shield on a Camillus, but there are a lot of things I can't remember.

Well except for the Camillus Cub Scout Knife. But it may be more of a copper color, but I've seen some that almost looked gold.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 8:34 pm

Would that be from the early 80’s? Looks like the one I had/have that I can’t find. I could swear it was dark blue. I have my Dad’s but it’s brownish black from I guess the 50’s-60’s.Papa Bones wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 11:50 pmWell except for the Camillus Cub Scout Knife.
