Just picked up this Western, I really like it!

 

[John A. Larsen]

chevyrulez1. I have that same Western, but it was second I think as the "Western" has a grooved line thru it. The punch/awl. had a weird, almost corkscrew end. Got it for $10. and took me about 2 minutes to fix the punch/awl. Everything else about the knife is solid and well made. John

I have oodles of Kamp Kings, but this is my only Forest Master, and I think it's the only one I've seen.

I guess I was pleased with the price.

I have been carrying one for a while now. It is a very well made and gets used hard at work.

Exceptional collection.
What is the top one? I can't make out the tang stap.
Are the two Camillus (4th and 5th from the top) the same model?
I ask because the lower of the two (with the USA shield) looks identical to the one above, with the exception of the bail and shield.

A pre WW2 Camillus that still has an etch, the main blade has a slimmer profile than most Scout knives.

Thank you! The top one is a PAL Cut. Co. The two Camillus engineers knives appear to be identical in build except for the two differences you noted, the bail and shield. Not sure if they are pre or post WWII production. They both have brass liners and steel bolsters.

What can opener do they have? The modern "safety can opener" (puts the sharp edges down) is post 1946/1947 from what I have been able to find online.

These have one of the older styles of can opener that cuts from underneath the lid, thus pushing the sharp edges of the can upward. You can see the cutout in the mark side handles for the portion of the can opener that rests on the rim of the can to provide leverage for the upward shearing action.
