Let's see your Scout/Camp knives

Cool knives. Keep them coming. That Remington was a big one. Are there foreign camping style knives? I am sure English and a few German. What about French, Spanish, Italian, Etc?

 

No Scout as such in France, but lots of multis, for camping, fishing or hunting, various sizes. Sometimes callesd Suisse when in celluloïd or acrylic.

So cool. Thanks.

 

you're welcome

 

@Jolipapa !!
Wonderful array of Camping/Utility/Picnic/Military knives, JP!!
Nice to see a Gallic approach to these interesting knives!!

 

Thank you! Our friend Bernard posted this page of Suisses (Swiss) made in Thiers by (the genuine)
Pradel til the 70s. They were sturdy, unexpensive and very popular with campers.



and I can't resist to post an extract of the 1906 Manufrance of St Etienne catalogue.

 

That is an admirable collection. That Sea Scout certainly made me say "Oh My!" Someday I'll track down one of those myself.

 

This was my grandfather's. It's a John Primble made by Boker I believe.

So cool that you have your Grandfather's knife, and even better that it's such a cool one. My Grandfather carried a Scout/Camper too.

 

Another navette.

 

I love that the French scout knives have corkscrews. I recently became part owner of a small working vineyard, so I am finding myself more interested in knives with corkscrews

 

These old Camillus knives are definitely built solid

 

Finally found one of these boat anchors after a year of searching.

Don't go swimming with that in your pocket, Colin!!
