How's the pulls on your Böker?
I had to round the corner on the screwdriver/caplifter blade on mine a mite, so needle nose vice grips were not required to open that particular blade.
Augie I wonder if Billie is a lurker and/or member under another name here ...
I was surprised to have found this for sale for about what Dunkin donuts is asking for a cup of coffee these days lol

Landers Frary and ClarkAny info on the company who made it?
coolhand68 - that's a very nice Ulster, I am lucky enough to have one minty coming my way- in fact I think the package has arrived in NZ just the other day, but I wont get to see it for a few days yet!
Wow!, Cal- there's some neat old Ulsters there my friend, just a great pair of Boys and Girls Scout's and both have had very little use!
Augie, nice Challenge - it would be good to see Billie just to slap him in the face as a reminder how not to name your knife lol.
Now forgive me my friends, because this Scout does not look much and for looks- does not compare to much- in saying that- I still like the look of the older Beast.
This Knife has something that I have not seen before in the Camullius Scout Knives, I believe this Knife - as it was mentioned as well by the previous owner - to be a very early example, there are a few things that make this knife stand out, and in turn makes it quite the collectable if comparing to the other "ordinary" Scouts ( which I dont think these Knives are- I think they are quite the spectacular Knife ).
1, The blade long etch ( you have to look carefully at the VERY POOR photo I took as it is fairly faded ) " BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA"
2, The double sized Main Spring- this Spring is massive to any other Camillus Utility, Scout Knife ( be careful not to include liners of comparison Knives )
3, Every "Blade" has been stamped on the Tangs, no Camillus Scouts have this feature either ( that I have seen ), which I think was a early method.
4, It features a Mayer Punch, again you just dont see the Mayer Punch on the Camillus Scouts
5, Pin difference
The Punch also you don't see often on a Camillus Scout, Camullis use a few different Punches, from their lovely and famous Spiral Punch, another is a very plain and thin Punch that is fairly unremarkable, and now this one Patented Aug 11th 1908, No. 895778, the Moritz Mayer Punch, although this Punch has been used and worn but not abused, the Punch sports not only all the above Patent information, but on the other side the 3 line CAMILLUS. CUTLERY CO. CAMILLUS NY. as do all the other Blades / Tools.
All Pins have been Hammered- where as every other WW2 Camillus Scout / Utility has the Centre Spring Pin spun.
The Thick Spring is the very left..
