Used an orange Bucklite my senior years in scouts. Cub Scout, Webelos, Eagle Scout 1993 Troop 201 East Texas Area Council ( thanks mom and dad , I know scouting wasn't cheap )Nice pics Pacu! I love knives that bring back good memories!

Thanks you guys! I looked for one for a long time, and although paying for a NOS in the box specimen was painful it was totally worth it. I absolutely love this one!
My first knife, when I was 8, which was a gift from my Dad.
That knife has seen a lot of use in, but now usually sits in a drawer because I don’t want to lose it. I still remember when my Dad gave it to me. I had just gotten back from a week at Girl Scout camp where we had to take a pocket knife because part of it was teaching us knife safety and my Dad sent me with one of his. When I went to give him back his knife, he asked me to show him what I was taught. At the end he gave me the knife. That was almost 40years ago.
Thanks Myron and Aloha. It is a Girl Scout knife. Girl Scout knives are nowhere near as prevalent as Boy Scout knives. Unfortunately nowadays, most the Girl Scout knives I’ve seen are cheaply made Made in China no names.That knife has seen a lot of use in, but now usually sits in a drawer because I don’t want to lose it.

So incredibly cool, Sos24! My kiddo and I spent seven summers in a row at Boy Scout camp, and he has all his SAKs from those years that I gave him. Fantastic memories, and I'm glad you have your own of your dad, too. Thanks again for sharing your story and well done for hanging on to that treasure. I hope you have someone else to hand it down to someday!Best,Myron
