That is one fine looking vintage scout knife.

I'm with you, those bone handles are wonderful.

Thanks guys!
Phil, out of the 30 or so scout knives in my collection, the bone on this one sets it far apart from all the others. Hands down, it's my personal favorite!
Glenn, after all the frankenknives, it did feel good to do an actual restoration for a change. :D
