I'll start with some traditional Scouts....
Case
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Case%20Scout%202-27-17_zpsqoi1676x.jpg)
Western
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Western%20901%204-8-17_zpsdl5xkm6u.jpg)
Remington R-4 Camp
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Remington%20R-4%20Camp%204-2-17_zpsrbcpugci.jpg)
A. G. Russell
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/AG%20Russell%20Premium%20Scout%203-31-17_zps6g07ijkn.jpg)
And Dad cut up many "taters and onions" for the big cast iron skillet at the deer camp with his Old Timer...
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Fri%208OT%201-20-17_zpsz7noj5qt.jpg)
Warner Moran, Rio Grande Camp Bowie
(http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz256/SAKGuy/Reposts/Warner%20Moran%20w%20custom%207-2-16_zpscadu76ik.jpg)
So whether you whittle pine with a Camillus by the fire, Open a can of peaches with a Camp King, use an Opinel to cut up carrots, slice sausage with an Ol' Hickory or use a heavy bladed Bowie to clear the campsite....show us your camp knives! :cheers:

The scout knife on the left is the one that got & still gets used, it shows on the can opener more than the blade.
There was the ever present stockman, a go anywhere do it all knife.
An old pic of the Navy mark 1.
I have an old camp hatchet but no pic of it.
So basically back when my camping was more primative, a scout knife, stockman, navy and hatchet.

Top is an old Boker that my Dad picked up in Germany when he was stationed there right after WWII, and carried as part of his flight equipment for the next 50 years.
A couple of old Imperials that I used in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts in the 50's and 60's.
An assortment of Scout-type knives, including two Remingtons, a Case (with pliers), and a Camillus Boy Scout Deluxe with phillips.

The True Temper hatchet ( in the middle) replaced a cheap piece of flat stamped metal. It also saw use in scouting, camping, etc.; and now is part of the emergency kit in the car trunk.

These are ok. About a 5-6+ on pull on various layers but good snap. One of the R-4's spring on the saw layer could be snappier (prob a 4) but on the saw it's fine. I'm not unhappy with them. The Trailhand is a touch snappier than the R-4's.

Thx David!! They are not as common as the 4 blade/tool versions and IIRC, I read a post over on BF about the 5 blade design and the Army in WW2 or Korea but I can't find it now. This Imperial knife (the IMPC5C, BSA #1046) was first manufactured in '63 according to ScoutKnives.Net

Hey SAK Guy, that wenger ranger that you sometimes post pics of, would you rank it as better than a Vic 111, or about the same. I've been thinking of buying one someday, but don't know anybody that has one.
They are virtually the same! You get the more versatile Can Opener with the Vic and (IMO) better T&T.
No worries on either one!!!

Given that Vic bought Wenger and hired all the workers, chances are these are made on the same machines by the same people...
Here's some of mine.... (all suitable for camping BTW)

Pulled this one out of my collection of knives once owned by my great grandfather. He would buy a knife, use it at his job (he was a carpenter) until something broke, then stick it in a drawer. So I have a bunch of mostly very old knives with broken blades.
(http://i.imgur.com/6JvrihV.png)
Too bad the blade is broken;that is a pretty collectible knife. Military issue in WWII the USA stands for United States Army.
I have quite a few scout/utility knives and they make great every day carry knives.

The advertisement on it is for a business in Zanesville, Ohio, which is the next big town over from where I grew up. Zanesville was the 'big city'. It had a mall and everything. :D
The knife is... okay. I don't hear or see much about Colonial as a company, but they're still in business. And as a side note, they still cover all their tools with a lifetime warranty.

Here's my first scout knife since at least the mid 70's, an Imperial Kamp King. Not quite as fit as my son's (Spartan 19), but I like it! The blade is super sharp, and I'm looking forward to putting the can opener to use.

The top fixed blade is my prep knife. I enjoy this knife for food prep and other things around camp.
The next one is a classic literally. Not much I can add to whats been said about Mora.
The third one down was a thrift store find. It says Japan Hand Made High Carbon Steel on the blade. It came with the sheath. It is my eating utensil. I also use it for a pairing blade if we get fancy out camping. Its only used for food. I've seen this knife floating around the web listed as a hunting knife.
The bottom knife is new to me. Its a Helle Viking. I still believe its a real version but the sheath has me wondering. In any case it hones up real nice. The handle is amazing looking in person, its curly birch. I haven't taken it out just yet but it will be my companion around camp sitting by the fire.
The pocket knives are,
Buck Creek, OC Farmer, Opinel. I like to always carry a pocket knife when scouting or camping. The Buck Creek and OC Farmer tend to be my go to. My Opinel is less carried but is a fine knife. The carbon variety is what I have and its simplicity keeps me coming back to it.

I love a carbon blade so this laminated blade just makes me more excited to really use it.
As you can see from the pictures the Viking is darn near the same size as the Mora. The Mora has a bit more handle. The Vikings handle is super comfortable in my hand. It has a tear drop shape so it doesnt roll in hand. I read some complained it didn't have a guard. I dont give that complaint any consideration. I life in a dry yet coastal area so I gave my handle a beeswaxing. I also treated the blade to some Frogslube. I follow up down the road as I actually get out and use this blade more and more.
Here it is with some other tools for size comparison.
Post by: RF52 on December 03, 2018, 07:35:41 PM
@ RF52 Thank you. The knife is really neat for its historic value. I stropped the edge which became razor sharp very quickly. Push cutting and hair popping sharp. The curly birch handle is gorgeous to me. I don't have a scale but the knife is light ( to me similar to my daughters Mora ) and almost perfectly balanced. From what I've read the complaints seem to revolve around the construction and fit and finish. I have no issue with either.Nice comparison pics Aloha :like:

I think the color of the birch handle fits the blade perfectly :like:

The third one down was a thrift store find. It says Japan Hand Made High Carbon Steel on the blade. It came with the sheath.
I know where that knife originated because I have one identical to yours.
It came with a complete set of kitchen knives which were housed in a wood case.The case was mahogany and it was about 2" thick,12" tall and 10" wide.The case opened like a book and it housed a chefs knife,a boning knife,a serrated bread knife,a paring knife,a meat cleaver and a hunting knife.I believe I have this correct,although it's been a very long time ago.
This was in the kitchen of my girl friends,now wife, parents house.When we were married,we had nothing,so my in-laws gave us this kitchen knife set.Over the years most every item got lost or came up missing,except the cleaver and the hunting knife.
I'll root around and find them and take some pictures tomorrow.

The hunting knife has been cleaned and refurbished over the years and the inscription "Hand Made" 'high carbon stainless steel' are missing.
Those inscriptions can be seen on the cleaver,which has only been sharpened over those same years.

I'm the IDIOT who sold his brand new in the original package Camilius BSA Scout Knife Deluxe on eBay for $40 5 years ago. I bought it new at Scout Camp around 2002. If one of you bought it is like to buy it back. :facepalm::facepalm:
That's horrible. I have a hard time getting over a distinct memory of being in an outdoor retail store in the late 90's with a friend of mine who wanted a knife for whittling. I advised that he get this one. https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/catalog/5138-camillus-new-york-usa-delrin-official-boy-scout-bsa-whittlers-knife-nib
He still has it, in badly rusted condition - he kept it in storage in his parents house for a number of years. When I told him about the potential historical significance of the knife he checked in on it and found that it had rusted inside several concentric layers of plastic storage boxes.
Anyway... I remember looking at the original BSA knife at that time and not being particularly interested.
I ended up acquiring one used many years later.
My personal favorite is a large single blade lockback franken- knife that they built with random parts when they were liquidating their stock. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/camillus-c3-sportsman-lockback-knife-mint-1
I still use that one from time to time. It's excellent.

That is a beauty, Gareth! It reminds me of the Nontron Nivette No. 38 I have, with the exact same tool set.

Nice! Sadly mine didn't come with any chocolate. ;)
Bargeon is an old French cutler as well, so wonder if there is at least some design overlap.

I love engineers knives and scout knives. Just a week ago I went back to our former Troop and presented on collecting scout knives and SAKs.

What are modern scouts typically carrying if anything?
Post by: Myron on September 16, 2022, 05:03:02 PM
Many of them had stories of knives they had inherited from Grandpa and didn't know anything about. They left inspired to go home and learn more about their knives.
It was really fun, and I would encourage anyone who knows a Scout or a Scout leader to offer something similar. I was also wearing my great-grandfather's BSA whistle (you can just see it around my neck in the picture) and they thought that was very cool too. :)
Post by: Aloha on September 16, 2022, 05:05:27 PM
That is very neat. I'm sure it was fun for them to go home and look closer at their knives. Maybe even inspired the next generation of enthusiasts.

My daughter's old group are still pretty old school, but very much tend towards Mora knives rather than a pocket knife.
Post by: nate j on September 16, 2022, 11:36:02 PM
:iagree:It varies. In my son’s troop, I’ve seen everything from cheap imports to SAKs to various locking folders to fixed blades. Many of the boys don’t routinely carry knives though, as the penalties for being caught with one in school are rather draconian.

:iagree:

Around here (SE PA) it's (most to least common):
1. Standard modern single blade folders.
2. Traditional style (a few of the guys have their dad's, granddad's, etc. that's been passed down, but mostly modern) campers, stockmans, etc.
3. SAKs
Sheath knives occasionally for some of the older boys who are doing "mountain man" trips, and every once in a while someone shows up with some mall ninja crap. Most of the camps/troops around here encourage or mandate non-locking folding for the younger boys so we wind up with mostly slipjoints.

On another note, my local pocket knife club got together last night and I took my Case scout collection.

This knife was given to me from my dad when I was around 15. I never asked him where or when he obtained it.
After his passing, I began to search the internet and discovered this was a popular knife for the Boy Scouts back in the 50's, which is when my dad would have been a young teen.
The original sheath was chewed up by one of our dogs at the time, so I made a new leather sheath for it.
I lost my personal Boy scout 4-blade knife, but it's nice having my father's.
