Im an old man, a old , tired, sick, broken, shot up Paratrooper from the 80-90's. Ive served from Asia to Central America to Europe and Saudi Arabia. The one knife I always have with me is a Swiss Army Knife. My favorite is the FIELDMASTER.

I carried the Huntsman instead. Same knife but with the corkscrew instead of the phillips backtool. Traded in for an Explorer because now I need a magnifying glass more than a wood saw! LOL

[@guycalgary7800]

Your videos were a great resource , i also viewed a bunch of others as i researched what camp/scout knife i wanted to add to my collection. I settled on a new Boker camp/scout with stag handles. Its gorgeous and will be something i plan to use as my EDC. Paid a little (alot) more than i wanted to , but it was worth it as soon as it was delivered.

Excellently presented again, Tobias. I have one of those 108mm German Army ones, too. The version 2 actually by Victorinox with the nailfile/matchstriker, which -as I've read once somewhere - they might have not made for too long; seemingly from '85 or '86. So, super stoked I snatched it up -must be - a good 10 years ago. I have given a few of these away, too (the more widespread variant 1). Never any complaints from those people either. Recently added that mini-screwdriver to it that Vic. makes for their standard models, fits just as well.

[@slick_slicers]

When I was a Scout, I always carried an 8" Sheffield Bowie by Nowell. It is in carbon steel and served every purpose from chopping wood to carving chicken. I still have it, but it suffered several years of abuse by my son. I’ve recently refurbished it, oiled it and put it away wrapped in cling film to stop it rusting. When does your earliest Scout Knife date from? I’m not sure they were ever hugely popular over here. We always went for fixed blades. I do love the pioneer, but I go for the Pioneer X with scissors for my edc.

[@garethbaus5471]

My troop had a policy against fixed blades, for most of my time in scouts I carried an imperial stockman(Taylor made).

[@scenicdriveways6708]

Nice video Tobias. I carried a 1968 U.S. Camillus Military Pocket knife ( aka Demo knife ) daily for over 24 years. I have a metal key clip that goes on my belt and I always kept my U.S. Camillus pocket knife clipped to my key clip. Every time I used the knife I would automatically clip my knife back on the key clip on my belt. I would never set it down where I could forget it and lose it. Recently I just had to replace my U.S. Camillus pocket knife because I wore the springs out on it. So I purchased a Boker Magnum Camp Knife , it has all the same tools as my ole U.S. Camillus pocket knife , including the Clavis or Shackle. I am very happy with the purchase of my Boker Magnum Camp Knife. It only cost me about $20 , it cuts great , it's easy to sharpen , all the tools work great , and I don't leave home without it There are a lot of great pocket knives out there , but for me I have to have a pocket knife that has a Clavis or Shackle on it. I find the Clavis or Shackle very useful . And the basic tools that come with a Camp Knife / Boy Scout Knife are extremely useful , so I really love this design. Now , I know some of your readers will correct me and tell me it's not a Clavis or Shackle , it's a "bail" ( and yes , they are also referred to as bails ). I simply call mine a Clavis or Shackle because that is what Camillus called them on their Blueprints. www.collectors-of-camillus.us/Articles/GSA-heavy-duty-pocket-knife-1966.pdf Thanks for the great video. JT

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Scenic Driveways, I’ve always seen it spelled “clevis” but you are correct, that is the more proper term. I think the Brits called it a “shackle.” Case and GEC seem to call it a bail or lanyard bail. The camp or demo knife is pure genius and I’m also a big fan of a clevis or clavis no matter what people call it.

[@ColdHarborOP]

My favorite scout knife of all time has to be the US made Remington R4 in the 5-tool pattern, which has all the jormal accoutrements plus a very decent sawblade. Next up, the classic US military folder. After that, the modern variants by Rough Ryder and Marbles really shine, even if they need a bit of tweaking and work to get them just right (mainly trimming the cap lifter). The old Ulster Boy Scout knives are also very nice, especially the ones with solid delrin handles and not just hollow plastic scales. Rounding out bunch, I think the old Forest Master takes 5th place.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I know the knife you speak of. All I can say, is you have made a very wise choice for a favorite scout knife!

[@arctodussimus6198]

My very first knife was the official Cub Scout Knife. My Dad gave it to me in 1967. I was 8 years old. That knife started my fascination with blades, and except for three months in boot camp, I’ve had a knife on me every day since. I wish I knew what happened to that knife. I also have the Wenger version of the German Army Knife. It’s in a fire kit, but I really like it.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Those are tough ones to find. I have a few of the USA Knives from WWII as well as the a few without shields but the M.D. USN are hard to find. A few other shields were also used. The most common was USA, which from what I read, was the shield for U.S. Army Utility knives.

Alox SAKs for life! Hehe. Love my Pioneer X, Pioneer, and Cadet. Your videos did get me interested in the US GI knives like from Marbles, but shipping costs might kill and apparently the quality is a hit or miss. Would you call a knife a scout pattern if it has 3-4 blades, which usually includes a knife, an awl, a can opener or bottle opener? Looks like most of your choices have similar tools throughout.

Not to mention the Marbles version of the GI knife has a caplifter that won't lift without modification. I wish Victorinox would bring back the Wenger Standard Issue with the removable bale.

They are really good knives. I carried a German Army Knife for many years. I'd almost cry if I had to cut the blades down but I can also understand why a person would do that if that is what it took to legally carry it!

[@norby0418]

The Swiss Army (alox) soldiers knife was made by both Wenger & Victorinox. Wenger added a nail to theirs, the civilian version was no different than the military.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

From the SAK Wik, see the second paragrapgh: The Wenger Soldat, is a true Swiss Soldier Knife manufactured under contract to Swiss Army specifications, and issued to enlisted personnel between 1962 and 2008. Outside of Switzerland it is better known as the Standard Issue, or SI, for short. This version of the Soldat (French for soldier) is based on the Swiss Army 1961 design specifications that were developed by Victorinox. Some people classify the Standard Issue as the civilian version of the Soldat, as it contains a bail mounted in the hollow end-rivet, which was never included on issued Soldier Knives. This is the only 93mm Alox scaled model that was manufactured by Wenger. After 2008, Wenger continued to manufacture this model for civilian retail markets. Since it is was no longer an official Soldier Knife after 2008, Wenger started to refer to the model as the Swiss Army 70.

The nailfile on the Victorinox Cadet got an update recently. Now it's more of a proper single-cut file. Very fine cut, but sharp.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I'm sure this pleased the heck out of most people but I really like the older " pebble textured" file. I know the cut file actually worked better for most chores but for mail filing and match striking the textured file is king in my book. That said, the new file is not a deal breaker for me.

[@derekchapel2783]

I have acquired three of the US and one is a $10 marbles and one is the real military issued one and last but not least I have one that’s unmarked, but has the brass spacers like the one you have in your hand at 15:58. Do you know what it could be? It has a 5 stamp on one side toward one end, and it has a what lookes like is a “A” that’s almost double stamped like overlapped

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

That's sounds interesting. Is there anyway you could send a photo of it to [e-mail]? I suspect it may be one of the Mess Kit knives made in 1952. They typically were not stamped US on the handle. They still had brass liners at the time. It could also be a war production knife from Stevens.

As a life long Scouter, this was a fun video! I used to have a modern official BSA knife and I hated it. Same pattern type, but made in China and quite poor quality: wouldn’t hold an edge and was very stiff.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

I have a few of the China made Scout knives. I'm pretty certain they were made by Taylor Brands for some time. I think the main draw for me was the historical aspect. Most of the ones I have are Cub Scout knives. They were of better build quality than the last of the USA made (Bear & Son) but that isn't saying much. I'm not sure how well they would hold up to continuous use. They came relatively sharp but I've really not used them so I can say how well they hold up over time.

Depending on where you live and your willingness to buy from eBay, they are usually some like news ones available from Camillus.

A lot of fake eBay account originate in Russia, China, and Pakistan when it comes to these knives.

[@LarsRibe]

If we had the Remington version here, I would just get that. Because, yes, the Sportsmesser is rather pricey.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Lars Buskkraft, the Remington is only going up in value. It was made by Camillus back in the 1990’s and is getting harder and harder to find. I picked one up several years back. I’m guessing they are going for between $70-$100 today (mint in box w/paper). Still cheaper than a new Böker; especially the stag one.

[@LarsRibe]

You know that feeling "But I saw it just a few years ago" and it was actually before 2000? Well.. one day I'll get the Sportsmesser. If not new then used. Sometimes one or two show up here in Europe on facebook or ebay (german)

That would be a hard choice for me to make as I have never been in that situation. What's more, the closest to that condition was when I was in the Army, I never carried just one knife even when in the Army. Today, when I go camping/fishing/hiking/etc. I always have my my EDC with me (three knives) and then usually two or three knives depending on my intended trip. For the most part these scout knives are a good second knife to go along with a solid fix blade when camping, hiking, fishing.

Swiss Army Knifes are not so much a type of a typical Swiss knife because Karl Elsener founded Victorinox 1884. he learned the knife craftmanship in the German knife capital Solingen, where Böker already had the Sportmesser (sport knife) pocket knife with tools since 1869. these are built about 164 years nearly the same way with over 100 year old machines.

To be fair the term ''Swiss Army Knife'' is a misnomer anyway, it was coined by US troops stationed in Europe during and after WW2. In German they are called ''Schweizer Taschenmesser'' which translates to Swiss pocket knives. For Swiss Army use there were the respective Soldier models made by Vic and Wenger, and the smaller models with corkscrews etc. which are now made with the familiar celidor scales were first marketed as ''Officer and sports knives'', Swiss Army officers weren't issued these but purchased them from shops.

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Very true. It was sometime in the 1950s that Victorinox Trademarked the name Swiss Army Knife, and then after a court battle in Switzerland, Victorinox became the "Original Swiss Army Knife" and Wenger became the "Genuine Swiss Army Knife" and no other knife in Switzerl;and could use the name. Since then Victorinox has fiercely protected this international Trademark.
