BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD

[jerryd6818]

Dave, the pictures are great. I never would have thought of posing knives with action figures. I guess I could borrow some from my grandchildren.

[johnnierotten]

Hey Johnnie, ain't that knife referred to as a "Scout-Master's Knife" or some such as that??

TJ....I virtually don't know a thing about its role in BSA World. ....I will try and do some research on it and let you know....or maybe someone else will pipe in and be able to enlighten us.

This is a finished auction and a Camillus, but looks to be the samel

DAVE!! Those are AWESOME pics of a couple great knives. Very thoughtful of Jerry to send
you the Recruit and your pics of that #85 are sweet.

I got the idea for the action figure pics over at AAPK. Most of those guys do it WAY better...

[johnnierotten]

Yeah...Camillus & Schrade had a lot of the same patterns. ......sounds like it was for a Scout Master..like you thought.

That would be Stone Cold Steve Austin, However the action figure in question is of Bill Goldberg,an ex-NFL football player. He was released from the Atlantic Falcons in 1995 and was picked up by the Carolina Panthers that same year but retired and never played for them.He was known for his deadly wrestling move called the "spear". He also was an announcer on the UFC/MMA show with Joe Rogan.The last thing I remember is he MC'd a reality T.V. show where they raced cars around the country completing certain tasks for prize money. Unfortunately my head is stuffed with this kind of trivia. Rocky


Oh, and by the by,very knice knives!

Squirrel now officially has a first name. I dub thee Britannica Squirrel or B.S. for short. (I have to laugh at my own jokes. No one else does.)

Got this little beauty as an extra bonus. ...Thanks Bob (WelderBob).

Hey Johnnie, ain't that knife referred to as a "Scout-Master's Knife" or some such as that??

TJ, the one I have (a Camillus from 1996) is still in the original box, which is labeled "Leaders Classic Knife".

[tjmurphy]

Hey, thanks OH, that explains it even better

[AREMINGTONSEDGE]

Second trip at this.

Got me a box from none other than T.J. Murphy. Instead of me going into an involved explanation I'm going to post the note T.J. included with the other contents.

Thank you T.J. I appreciate it. You're a good man Gunga Din.

BTW -- The Stanley is Camillus made but I think it's going to be more difficult to find a shield for it than it would be to find one for a Camillus. I don't think the Stanley has been carried or cut anything as much as a slice of bread.

Edit: P.S. If Paki Stan didn't have a hand in the manufacture of that Whitetail, I'll be our buddy Monk's uncle.

[Just Plain Dave]

That Stanley is Kewl with long match striker pull and flat grind!

[tjmurphy]

Just noticed the disclaimer that White Tail states in the leaflet, "No hassel free replacement guarantee" Does that mean there is NO hassel free replacement?? Ya bought it, it's yours!

[TripleF]

Knice hit TJ!

[tjmurphy]

The Stanley is a pretty nice knife and I would think that it would be pretty easy to make a shield out of soft brass to fill the void since they're all straight lines. The White Tail, nnnnot so much.

[jerryd6818]

I would think that it would be pretty easy to make a shield out of soft brass

Or nickel silver with my initials stamped on it. That would confuse the s*** outta someone 20 years from now. Three pages of discussion on AAPK.

You're right. The Stanley is a nice knife. The Whitetail, not so much. In fact, except for a piece of paper, how can we be sure it even is a Whitetail?

Good point Jerry. Someone may have cobbled it together and forged the little white piece of paper. BUYER BEWARE!!
