I don't know how I missed this post. That turned out very well. Good job David!

A Muskrat "Yello-Jaket" Blades AUS8, carbon fiber scale insert.
There is no tang stamp, but Camillus is etched across the spine.

That carbon fiber is kinda cool!

Thank you Steve, the Muskrat I believe is out of production now, but on the
camillusknives.com website there is one other matching style.

This morning, this knife joined my collection. It is a CAMILLUS, 3 blade, Boy Scout pocket knife with bail. It is the "75th ANNIVERSARY - BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - 1910-1985 pocket knife. It didn't need any cleaning. I took a few pictures, here it is.

This is new-Camillus (made in China).
I'm glad you like it. I have the same and I did not receive joy from him .

Great looking Scout, Skip!

Thank you John.

This knife arrived today and is the latest addition to my Camillus collection. It's a CAMILLUS, 3 blade, main blade etched, bee shield, stockman pocket knife. I didn't have to clean it at all. It's in FANTASTIC condition. Here it is.

Did a little cleaning on a Camillus Boy Scout Knife today and a few others.

A mighty fine collection, David!

That's a PAL CUTLERY CO.
MADE
IN U.S.A.

I want to say it is 1940's, but I'm not certain.

Here is another one I got cleaned up.
Could someone instruct me on the best way to clean inside the knife.
You would not believe how much dirt, grease, and pocket lint came
out of this knife.

I flood the pocket with 3-in-1 and let it soak a while. Flip it over and shake out as much as I can. Try some compressed air, but make sure to wear safety glasses. Soak again, if you're so inclined. Then I wrap a bit of tissue or napkin around a toothpick and wipe it out.

I like the knife, by the way.

Picked up this Camillus Outers type sheath knife, fairly early with bone handles, also has a Sword Brand tang stamp on pile side that I have not seen that often on this pattern knife.

Woah!!
That is a sweet looking fixed blade knife!
The blade looks unused!

Fine looking knife John.
Beautiful bone on the handles.
