I seem to have lost my Boy Scout knife :(

Got my nephew one of the Case BSA knives. It is a nice knife, they hold an edge well, and are well made. I am not a believer that everything in the past is always better. Stainless does have advantages!

Smoky Mountain Knife Works has the 2009 and 2010 Remington Boy Scout reproduction knives on sale for $59.95 each; a substantial savings, as Remington product is typically priced over $100 because it's collectible. Each one comes with reproduction box and advertisement posters; the knives are reproductions of 1924 versions.

2010 Remington Boy Scout Knife.

The current standard scout knife is now a China made stainless knife (not sure what shop makes it). I got to handle one the other day and while the build is competant, I don't feel the materials and craftmanship is up to par compared to even the old knock-off scout knives from the good ol days (like the Imperial made carbon steel Kamp-King).

Love those Kamp Kings.

I've got an old Camillus BSA Ulster as well as the 2 bladed Whittling knife with BSA logo by Camillus.
Is the whittler particularly collectible?
It's not my daily carry knife but it does get a fair bit of use.

This thread took me back in time. I could remember my old BSA knife, clear as a bell. It had a black handle.


Nice memory. Thanks...

Camillus, get 2.

Or I have 2 or 3 of the old GI stainless knives. ++

I've had one of these eddie bauer boy scout knifes since 97.

I mainly use the blade to remove the seal on wine bottles but it is still razor sharp.

It is made by Richartz and the blade reads Rostfrei stainless soligen Germany.

I've packed it many times in my lugagge so I would have a corkscrew and bottle opener.

It is a very sharp sturdy little knife.

My 2 newest scout knifes

I scored 2 off the bay the German Schmict one was real clean and just needed some lube. The Kamp King was rusty and took a days worth of careful cleaning to get it back in shape. I soaked it over nite in Eds Red and used JB Bore Cleaner and some nail files to get the rust out. The I blew it out and soaked it with CLP over nite and wiped it down and sharped the leather punch and blade this morning.
