The All Scout Knives Thread

[Miller Bro's]

Phil,

Does the knife have a punch blade?

Also the jigged bone is different from what Catt. usually used on their knives.

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.

Well, I finally got my second scout knife ! If an 'unofficial' Schrade Cut. Co. counts, I only need to find one more and I'll have another collection.

1930's Remington RH51 Etched Blade
Royal Brand
Imperial

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.

Thanks.
Beautiful knife.
Looks like the U.S. Navy Mark I's from WWII.

Charlie,
All the old Remington Boy Scout sheath knives were identified as such by an acid etch, like the one posted here. Usually this was done on the front side of the knife. The front tang had the Remington name and the reverse tang had the model designation, in this case RH51.

The knife pictured here has the etch on the reverse side, probably a factory mistake, the ones I have are all etched on the front side.

Also, Remington did not stamp the blade or tang with the official scout logo like the later knives were done. The Western sheath knives had the tang stamped as an official boy scout knife, and the blade face was acid etched.

22short,
Nice old scout knives, thanks for showing them!

Here now is my latest find, a Cattaraugus scout/utility knife model #42219.

Nice Catt., M.B.

Pretty hard to find, I'd imagine, with the compass intact.

Thanks Fran!

Yeah the compass thing seems to be a real problem with these knives, they fall right out

Here is another one I have that is missing the compass



M.B.

[Owd Wullie]

There's one on fleabay right now without the compass.. It's at $26.00 and reserve not met with 20 some odd hours to go.

Willie,

Find me one WITH the compass!

That seller is questionable, he grades the knife in excellent condition?

Not only is the compass missing the master blade is down and the bail is missing!



M.B.

[Owd Wullie]

I'll keep my eyes open, for one for each of us.

M.B.

I've dealt with him.....once.

If questioned about his grading, he'd probably reply that he couldn't see the missing parts........with 10X magnification !

A cranky & rude old so 'n so.

A cranky & rude old so 'n so.

Fran,

Not a good person to deal with. Just read some of his old feedback. I was told he is a knife mechanic. From what I have seen most of his stuff has been repaired or cobbled together

Cattaraugus Whitt-L-Kraft official boy scout knife.

Model #D2589B

[RobesonsRme.com]

That seller's name is Albrecht, or something like that. He lives in CT. I used to get a mail list from him years ago. He seemed, at the time, to have had some interesting knives.

After I started buying on Ebay, he sent me a plastic handled EO once that was not the knife he pictured on Ebay, and his description plainly said, "bone". We went round and round about it. At first he suggested I didn't know what I was talking about, but relented when he figured I wasn't a newbie.

I recall once someone posted negative feedback for him over some issue. His response started with these words, "THESE PEOPLE ARE SCUM!"

I never forgot that.

I do not look at his auctions unless I think the knife itself might prove informative.

His Ebay descriptions are concise, but his rules and requirements voluminous.

I'm sure some of you know him. Maybe he's a better person than my previous impressions suggest.

Then, again; maybe not.

Snagged this old Crucible Scout off ebay last weekend for 9.99. Been used but never sharpened that I can tell. Old scales have shrunk and cracked a bit but it still as tight as the day it was made.

Resident scout knife Guru, Philco, dated it to the late 20's.

[Owd Wullie]

A Sword/ Camillus SCOUT KNIFE














Shrunken scales and upon closer examination, lightly buffed on the blades.

Still a deal at a whoppin $9.99. LOL

[Miller Bro's]

Willie,

Another nice find!

$9.99 seems to be the majic number

I think you have caught the scout knife bug!

Here a few I picked up this week.

[Owd Wullie]

Well? I didn't INTEND to catch the SCOUT KNIFE BUG, but I think it caught me.....

Those are some GORGEOUS knives Mr D!!

[philco]

I have the bug and have had it for a while. To be honest Wullie and M.B. I'm feeling a little over those beauties you have rounded up. Nice finds by both of you.
