Not a very substantive thread, but I find myself killing time looking at WW2-era Camillus scout knifes on Ebay. Anybody using a vintage scout or SAK for EDC?

I edc a SAK in my left front pocket. Toothpick tweezers flat head, large blade ( utility) small blade ( razor sharp ) for times when a scalpel is needed. Larger flipper always on my right side but the sak is always present.

Larger flipper always on my right side but the sak is always present. I'm about like this most of the time. I often have a Victorinox Alox of some variety stuck in my left front pocket and a clip-on folder of some type in my right front pocket.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I have a Camp King, and a Forest Master old
scout-type knives, but don't carry them much
anymore because of sentimental value.
I often carry a Vict. Farmer, or one of several
USGI demo scout-type knives I have.
Only one is a Schrade, and the others are Camillus.
I bought my young nephew the Marbles version
some years ago, and it's been a good tool.
Good sharp main blade. Probably chy nah
although it isn't marked as such.
I had several SwissBucks that Wenger made
for Buck before being absorbed by Victorinox,
but gave away all but one to relatives and friends.
Just me- I ain't much on the multi tools.
I had one of the first Leatherman tools
that I saw in this area, but didn't really
care for it as a substitute for a one-and-only
carry deal. I still have a Leatherman Mini
from years ago still sleeping in my hunting
box where it's been for a good while.

I sometimes carry my cub scout knife (made by Camilius) that my mom gave to me when I was 7.
I'm surprised I haven't lost it.
The blade is loose so its a random sentimental carry. I have my only knife scar on my hand from that one...
I'd love to find an Boy scout knife, but my Alox SAK's are so thin in pockect.

I carried a SAK for years in the Army. Most guys I knew got the smallest one that had scissors so you could trim your mustache with it. I also carried a demo knife for a while. https://www.navigatetoyouradventure.com/2014/01/camillus-demo-knife.html Not comfortable to use but we had a bunch issued to my team so they were basically free. You could get a lot done with either of those and an issued K-Bar. Okie John
If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

The Buck 442 is my preferred EDC.
