All About Pocket Knives

Found a very nice blue Cub Scout knife for $10 today. Looks never used, blades are very tight with great snap and half stop on the main blade. The bottle opener and leather punch blade have little liner locks, the main blade doesn't lock. The Cub Scout emblem on the handle is worn away a little, otherwise knife is like new. A solid little pocket knife, very well made, that I would have loved to have when I was a kid in the 60s.

...my first knife was a Camillus cub scout,got it in 1942-43, same blade configuration, but the handles were completely different!!........wish I still had it!!................... ......

Are you sure? Camillus began manufacturing official folding knives for the BSA in 1947...

...you're right vit, I've got my years confused!!...it was probably 1947-1948-i would have been about 10 yrs old!!...... ..............

I purchased my first Camillus Cub scout knife in 2011, and I was much more than 10 years old
