I like them and collect a few of them. The patina on the carbon steel appeals to me and you can get a decent edge on them.

If you search in the forum for Imperial BSA you'll get a few postings on them. Also, this Scout Knives link (http://www.scoutknives.net/index.php/boy-scout-knives-1/imperial)might be useful.
