All About Pocket Knives

Tom, I have an answer for this one. I bought this while I was passing through a small town more than twenty years ago, the kind that if you blink you would miss it. Seen a store, parked and went in, looked like an old hardware store but they sold groceries and a little bit of everything. Looked for a knife display didn't see any and was walking out, the middle aged clerk asked me what I was looking for. I said old pocket knives, he reached under the counter and in an old cigar box were about a half dozen of these.

I took one out and was disappointed it was Delrin asked how much and IIRC it was about $20, I bought just the one you see here should have bought them all!

Wow that’s quite a story - those BSA #1047’s started in 1970, I became a Boy Scout in 1968 and the rage was the 4-bladed Ulster Scoutmaster model (BSA #1036), the 1st official stainless steel folding knife but it was more money than your 3-bladed model. Quite a story for sure.

Hi, folks. Newbie here. I am trying to learn date, model, or anything else I can about my favorite pocket knife! I posted in a different thread and had suggested that I post here, too. With that suggestion came a pic that suggested this knife features a four-line stamp used from the mid-1930s to early 1940s. And way to learn more about this lovely knife? Thank you in advance; I know this is not an authorized model.

Nice old knife

Here's another one in the box I found

checkout this thread Dimitri…..the box is marked $2.50 viewtopic.php?p=1173876#p1173876

Have been viewing this thread with interest. I would like to find and purchase a Boy Scout knife from the 1968-69 time frame. I believe, according to what I have read here, that it was of the 4-blade Ulster pattern. As I recall, it had saw-cut Delrin scales rather than the jigged bone look. Does that sound right?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
