Boy Scout Knives

[Butch627]

This story started about 50 years ago while a cub scout I convinced my parents that I needed a Boy Scout camping knife. I don't think I had it more than a few months before I lost it. Funny but I still remember climbing a willow tree and doing some whittling and then poof it was gone. For nostalgia's sake I am getting a hankering for a replacement , probably on ebay. What I would really like is one from the late 60's/early 70's. I am wondering within that window if there were different manufacturers and if any are considered better knives than others. The model I am looking for is the 5 blade model.

The 70s ones i have seen were Cammilus . Ulster made them as well. My blue handle Cub knife was one of my favorites. My Nephew has it now.

Ah memories made me look in my knife case and check on my cub and boycott pocket knives

I ended up rebuying the knives I used then lost while in Boyscouts

1. Locking blade SAK
2. Spyderco Endura, although they don’t make the Clipit version anymore.
3. Kabar

I think I found my totemchip (sp?) a while back when I found a bunch of merit badges.

Some of my favorite memories are from camping with my Troop
