Normally I don't post much on regular saks and knives, but I purchased this nib knife I am picturing and a nib boyscout huntsman sak today for $20 each. Not really something new, except! This is the first boyscout knife I have ever seen that has a phillips driver and is NOT a SAK. The fit and finish are fantastic, even by SAK standards. I might go as far to say the fit and finish is superior. It is hand crafted in NY, USA. The springs/liners are beautifully ground down and set in for a USA knife from the 1990s. The box says 1996 and was official boyscout gear. The inlayed emblem is slightly different than my older scout knives. And the #1 phillips driver as a main tool is really neat. Anyone else ever see these around?

Good score on that Camillus! :like: The older scout, camping type knives with phillips that are in good shape with good bone coves can bring a tidy sum on the bay at times. Dont know if you've seen this thread (https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,71569.msg1458308.html#msg1458308) but there is cool stuff in it.

I've seen them loose, and usually beat up, but never new in the box. $20 was a great deal with that NIB.
I've been wanting to pick one of the old Camillus or Ulster with Phillips up to try as an EDC item. The Ulsters, however, use a cut down Phillips bit that's peened onto another piece. They're far weaker than what Camillus did. I have yet to find a reasonably priced SAK or Adler Schrade at a flea market. Yesterday, a guy wanted $15 for a beat up Adler/Schrade Classic-alike at an indoor flea market. The bright side is the same guy had an NIB Boker Great American Story Moose for $25, less than half what they are on Ebay.
