Dang Gary....that's a beauty!

I’ve never seen a birdseye scout before either.

Yep, I quoted myself. I was just reading through some old posts and saw this ludicrous statement I made. I obviously forgot that I have a Birdseye scout myself, and have had it long before I posted this a couple of months ago. So here’s my self-correction.

I know this is a official Scouts knife , but it’s a Comanche Scout and a lovely knife

That is a new one to me, a pattern that I do not recall ever seeing before. I do have a Taylor that uses a frame that is shaped similarly, but with a different style single blade.
I love yours!

Cool knives I've never seen before and really like them Mumbley, zed. Great pics gents, nice to scroll through.

Cheers mate , I can’t find another on the web , I’ve had a few Comanches over the years but never seen this one , I might do a post to see if anyone has seen or had one

Been a moment since I've been able to add to my CFG collection but when this beauty came up last week on eBay, I went deep and am so pleased that I did. According to my references, NYKCo made 1 variation of this model circa 1930 but I have 3

The newest edition to the family is in the middle with the knife on the left having a different awl and the knife on the right having a lift on the can opener. All 3 have removable bails and bolster lines which are confirmed by my references, but the variations are puzzling. Cobbling could be present which as we know can be found on rare 100-year-old knives.

Hope you enjoy my latest pickup!

Fantastic Campfire Girls' knives. Rare birds! J.O'.

[ScoutKnives]

Very nice Tom , I haven’t seen that lift on the implement blade before , nice !
I’m sure you have the variation with the nail file ?

[ScoutKnives]

Woops, actually it's my bad ..... I have the CFG knife with the nail file (see pic below)............

its the 2-bladed BSA NYKCo #1450 with the clip & unusual "implement blades" in bone that you are holding for me in your collection......my bad .........I'm ready to be the next caretaker anytime you are ready to let it go!

[ScoutKnives]

Well hold the phone dammit !
I’ve been on the hunt for that variation forever , the fixed bail is an early and extremely rare one .
Very nice

Mike

Well hold the phone dammit

Thanks Mike, this one has been in my collection for quite some time and came from Cindy Taylor when she still lived in New England before moving to your neck of the woods.

Congratulations Tom! I’m happy to see that it made it to your pile. I had it on my watch list and put in a bid, but the bid soon ascended beyond the meager reach of my pocketbook. I was hoping someone here won it.

Thanks Ken - she seems happy in her new home and is playing nice with others is CFG even around anymore?

Yup https://campfire.org/history/

[Gone2Three]

I can honestly say.... this is has to be one of my favorite threads here on the forum
Thanks for showing all of these beautiful old scout knives

Bought this Imperial Girl Scout kit today. Seems totally untouched. The spoon looks a bit different than the knife and fork. It's marked "Stainless, USA" but has no GS markings.It does fit the carry sheath perfectly. Like to see one to compare it to. Thanks for any input or a pic of one if you have it. J.O'.

[Dan In MI]

That is a very cool little kit of eating utensils! Those little kits can come in really handy, too.

[Ridgegrass]

Thanks Dan. I'm thinking the spoon is right, It's a perfect fit in the center slot. Hope so. Maybe someone has a set like it,

Found this very nice, 1930's, FAIRMOUNT CUTLERY CO., "Standard Scout" by Camillus. (Both Levine and Price say Fairmount is from Camillus,NY. This one says, "N.Y.CITY".)
Really like the shield.

[Myron]

Nice one! I have this same Fairmount in my small collection of semaphore scouts.

[Ridgegrass]

Thanks Myron J.O'.
