Same here, little folder with blue scales and a gold Boy Scouts insignia. Mine was from the seventies though.
I also have the Cub Scout knife, a 50 year old Camillus, recently refurbished and restored by Rock Cutlery USA. They did an awesome job!Had the standard issue "official" scout knife. Whatever that was. That was a LONG time ago, but I seem to remember it looking like this.
May have also had the cub scout version.
If I'm ever in the Boy Scouts I'll let you know.
What's a Boy Scout ?
I had a guy who worked for us who said he had been in the Boy Scouts. The way the thing went was :
Will you sharpen my knife for me ? I said " You should learn to sharpen your own knife. Buy a stone and I will help you". "If you like I can recommend one".
He said "We learned how to sharpen knives in the Boy Scouts".
He never bought a stone and I never was able to help him.
So . . . you knew it was coming . . .
How many Boy Scouts does it take to sharpen a knife ? ! ?
I had one of these while I was a scout (picked it up at the Navy Exchange). At different times I had different knives, including an Air force survival knife (now in a bug out bag in my closet) and a SAK (now in my pocket).Buck Lite - in service from 1983 - 1992.
Broke the tip clean off doing typical kid stuff.
Mine even had most of the corners intact when I quit!....but only after I earned my "Totin' Chip" .
