One of my first Camillus knives

Hello all,

Recently I've discovered the goodness of Camillus knives and steel. In fact, it depresses me greatly we don't have this company still operating in the states.

My first Camillus was a BSA 047 pattern- a carpenter whittler knife, a variation of the famed 72 pattern.
But a trade with a fellow AAPK member, JohnnieR- netted me my first scout pattern. It's a Camillus scout, 5 implement model. No pattern number exists, if any of you happen to know about these things, I'd love to hear it. The combo of the BSA whittler and this scout should have my son well set up for real American blades for scouts in a few years.

A little more digging reveals this is a camillus 46 pattern. Delrin jigged handles and the first variation of the BSA camp scout knife. A solid user knife it will be. Looks like everytime a scoƻt blinked, there was a different variation.

Here's a nice read:

Merry Christmas all.
