Traditional Pattern Knives: The Camp/Scout Pattern (Revised)

- Originally published three years ago, I discovered a glaring error and felt it needed correcting, especially as this is one of my most collected patterns of knives.
The scout is probably my favorite pattern and this was the video I watched , shortly after you posted it, that I knew I found the right place :) I guess there should be a saying that "once a Scout, always a Scout" (or is that Marines?) Anyhow, almost a year later and I'm glad I found you, thanks!
I could've sworn I answered this video two years ago! You Tube is crazy!
Victorinox Soldier 1961, very good catch I might say! :D
That' a keeper!
Great information! I have a MARBLE'S reproduction of the MILK knife. It's not too bad. The actual CAMILLUS made ones I have seen are lighter than the MARBLES...it is pretty chunky. I was never a Boy Scout, but when I was a kid, the first pocketknife I bought with my own money was a KAMP KING. I bought it at a local tackle shop for, I think .75 cents! They were displayed like 8 on a card with elastic bands holding them on. I sure wish SCHRADE IMPERIAL would reintroduce that...would sure bring back boyhood memories. Keep up the great vids...sure would like to see one on the WWII U.S. Navy survival kit knife, which I believe was a folding fisherman model, CAMILLUS maybe?
That Marbles seems to have issues with the cap lifter. But yeah, for the price it isn't to bad.
I believe the deluxe Scout knife became popular after WWII because it was the knife issued to members of the 10th Mountain Division and ski troops fighting in Italy and the Alps. The small Phillips head was used to tighten ski bindings.
Beautiful pattern
Thanks a lot
I bought a Scout knife in Kentucky that is in decent condition just dirty but only says Made in USA on the Spear blade So far I am unable to find any brand mark anywhere It may once have been marked on the blade and been polished off Any idea what to do Perhaps send Hobie a picture
Three possible options for Scout knives with that BSA shield. Ulster, Imperial, and Camillus. The most common is probably Ulster. I'm not sure if any of them just stamped it USA. Hobie is a good option but he mostly collects pre WWII models. If it has that style of can opener, is post WWII. Hope this helps.
How sharp does that Swiss carbon steel get?
Depends on who is doing the sharpening. I can get it hair shaving sharp with little problem. I'd bet Steve from @Paddy's Potato Peelers could do much better!
Looks like your knife at 14:28
I inadvertently removed a post from Pussy Tigress. My apologies. This was the content of her post concerning a tin opener on a farrier's knife from the 1840's:

Have a look at Brunel's pocket knife from the 1840s: www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/a-horn-handled-penknife-g-butler-co-5605285-details.aspx Click on the image twice, to enlarge it to maximum, and notice the blade stamped 'tin opener'.
Great video- lot's of good information! I have a budding collection of BSA knives- four! I think I'll keep going with it. I read that choosing the utility knife pattern for the first BSA knife (New York Knife Company #1 in 1911) was a somewhat controversial decision. Apparently, several outdoor writers and authorities at the time saw no reason for a screwdriver and can opener and thought the knife should have been a whittler or fixed blade knife! I know what I wanted when I was a kid- all those cool tools!
HobieonRUclips, W. D. Boyce personally picked this pattern, which was not at all popular before being adopted by the Scouts. Shortly afterwards it was probably the best selling pattern in America.
This was actually known as the #1 BoyScout Knife and the initial cost was $1. The #2 Boy Scout Knife was the No. 40 Navy Jack Knife. This was a 3 1/8 inch two blade EZ out jack knife with a spear blade and a smaller pen blade. It sold for 50¢.
I really need to do video on the Boy Scout Knife, to include who actually made “Official Boy Scouts of America” knives.
11:20 Did the old claw type can opener work well? Tobias, if one of your knives is not too precious to use, please try it out and let us know how it compares to the safety can opener.
I'm retty sure, I have done this in a past video. The only can opener I have tried is that Wenger, Dogleg.
How beautiful knives >>> Thanks
07:35 I got this Scout knife in 1970 and still have it.
Fascinating, I really learned something.
Tilbily, glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
I own my grandfather's old boker USA carbon steel camp pattern and its one that I carry daily. I love this is knife and has been one of the most useful ones in have ever owned. I have owned several leatherman and though I like them, I find that I don't run into many situations that the Boker can't solve.
There is a reason why that pattern persisted for over a hundred years!
Btw, if I went back and took down all the videos I've made mistakes in, there may not be many left! As I'm sure you know, the trouble with YT is when you re-do them, your view count starts over.
I opted to keep the old one up and change it from public to unlisted. I'm not sure if that allows the 3000+ views to remain in my total or not but if someone stumbles on it, it directs them to the new revised edition. I also just created a list of the of the Camp/Scout knives I've made so people can find them more easily. Slowly figuring out how this whole RUclips thing works, thank to a lot off assistance from fellow you-tuber Bart Somers.
