Did they find documentation for this?
Looking closely at the two different brands nothing matches.

I am not aware of what supporting documentation may exist but these are history experts from the Case museum. Undeniably the knives are the same size and the same stamping tool was used to make the scales. As stated, the blade types/configuration on the Case version were requested by Case. Challenge had there own blade style/configuration.

Nice pick up Mike. Great stag.
I've got one like it somewhere but with jigged bone handles. Mine's a German Boker, probably not as old as yours either.

killing me softly with those knives Mike, hope I get a chance to coon-finger them in Lakeland in a few weeks. They punch both my LF&C and Official Scout knife buttons.

Careful Mike, Tom will definitely get the wrong impression from your note!
By the way, nice pair!

I don't often fondle, but when I do, a pair of Official Landers, Frary & Clark 2 blade easy open knives would be my first choice (OK maybe my second choice).
I'm still not going camping with you Ron.

I picked up this KEEN KUTTER scout/camp knife to restore but the seller didn't show pic of back scale where a chunk is missing.
Looks like I'm sending it back
Thought I'd share a couple pics for reference

Even with the chunk missing it's a beautiful piece of cutlery.

ScoutKnives that one needs a seat towards the top of the shelf.
That's a dandy.

Sweeeet Mike, that's a cornerstone of any Scout knife collection. Imagine all of the fingernails that knife saved!
