The All Scout Knives Thread
Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Graywolf,
On the two five blade Imperials you posted in the first picture, is the top one wood handled or is it actually a synthetic material made to look like wood? If so, my book shows a production date range for it of 1962-1963
The second one, which looks to me to be wood, was produced from 1952-1962. Guess which one is harder to find.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Hi Phil Thanks so much for the query, I went back to it with a jewlers loup and sure enough its plastic, To my old eyes it looked like wood at first. The other is as you suggested, undquestionably wood. Good call
Re: The All Scout Knives Thread

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I bought this one the other day.
pin crack at the center. Other than that? You can still make out the STAINLESS etched into the main blade
Bad pic but the best I could do.

Willie;
That's a pretty knife, and a Challenge to boot. Not a very common brand, but a quality maker.
Congrats!

Wullie,
That is a dandy.
I must confess I'm feeling a bit envious at the moment.
Great find!

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Thanks guys,
It was very poorly advertised on ebay. I still had to fight a bit to get it. Blew my mind when I found out it was stainless, because there was no mention of that or the blade etch in the ad. It also had some goo on the main blade in their pictures that made the blade look gapped. LOL. I feel I came out a LOT better off than I hoped for.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Thanks again.
I'm not real sure what the bolsters are made of. It's either nickel/german silver or some soft stainless steel. The knife does have brass liners. I'm pretty sure the bail is made from stainless steel so maybe the bolsters are as well.
Now ya' got me wondering. LOL

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
I did not mean to make you wonder about your knife.
The bolsters kind of looked like aluminum, or something else less shiney than nickel-silver.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
LOL, I'm pretty sure it's a softer grade of stainless. I don't know if they had 300 series back then or not or if they did, I have no idea what they called it.
It does look like aluminum in the pics.
I promise and guarantee, I won't lose any sleep wonderin about it.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Willie,
The bolsters, bail, and shield are all nickle silver. Challenge never used stainless on these parts, however they did make the backsprings out of stainless steel.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
This is a Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. compass knife. It has a patent number of 1115780 which was submitted in 1914. The can opener appears to be a later vintage than the original.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Phil,
Does the knife have a punch blade?
Also the jigged bone is different from what Catt. usually used on their knives.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
M. B.,
The knife has about 3/4 of a punch blade. Looks like someone thought it would make a dandy pry bar some time back.
I can't address the jigging as I only own one other Catt. knife.

Re: The All Scout Knives Thread
Were Remington made BS sheath knives usually stamped and etched on the back side of the blade?
Were all BS sheath knives marked that way?
Or, do I just not know the front from the back when it comes to straight knives?
Don't mean to sound ignorant, but sheath knives are not within my Baliwick.

As far as I know to be a offical BS knife they were so marked.
