Vintage Imperial Kamp King

[@gizmocarr3093]

I think that type of knife construction is something that is overlooked but makes an interesting piece. 👍

[@RJsKnives]

It certainly saves on weight. It’s kind of cool to find old pieces like that. Thanks Gizmo!

[@davidkurle5418]

That's an awesome piece, buddy!

[@RJsKnives]

Thanks David!

[@Elphoenix1]

I love cracked ice knives they get really sharp

[@RJsKnives]

I know that you can get a great edge on those older carbon steel blades. Thanks Uriel!

[@MountainAjar]

Very tough old knife. Unique piece, I’ve never seen those covers. Thx man

[@RJsKnives]

I had not seen covers like that either. Definitely a survivor. Thanks JC!

[@singingtoad]

Very cool knife, thanks for sharing! I hope all is well for you and yours RJ. 🙏 Take care my friend and Cheers!

[@RJsKnives]

Thanks Dave! I hope everything is good for you and yours. Cheers!

[@ThriftyKaniffy]

Nothing fancy, but they are always fun to clean up, sharpen and enjoy. Nice find, Rod. Cheers.🍻

[@RJsKnives]

Thanks John! Glad you stopped by! I hope you’re doing well.

[@tomritter493]

Beautiful blade john I miss mine I had 4 of them only have two left

[@RJsKnives]

I am keeping an eye out for these knives. They are definitely classic. I hope you are doing better. I know that you are going through a tough time. Thanks Tom!

[@tomweingart2337]

Try Hoppes #9 gun lube for the snap, it works wonders!

[@RJsKnives]

I will, Tom. Thanks for the tip! Hope you’re doing well, brother.

[@rasputinscastle]

Love those old cracked ice designs. RR needs to do that again. 😊

[@RJsKnives]

Yes, I think that would be nice if RR brought it back. Thanks Michael!

[@pa1adin111]

Awesome camp knife! There's something so satisfying in using one of these for a weekend out in the woods.

[@RJsKnives]

Definitely takes you back to a simpler time. Thanks Rick!

[@jedijimknives]

Camp knife was my first cool tool. The cool tool button attached to me and it gets poked often...even have a drawer in my knife storage cabinet labeled "Cool Tools"...nice find...thanks for sharing it...Jim

[@RJsKnives]

Nice! A drawer full of cool tools sounds really neat. Thanks Jim!

[@cheesymoonworkshop]

Camping knives are among my favorites

[@RJsKnives]

They definitely are one of my favorites also. Thanks Cheesy Moon Workshop!

[@R.H.bladeNshade]

[@RJsKnives]

I just need to find some time and I will get her back in business. Thanks Ryan!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

[@RJsKnives]

Thanks Pete! I hope you have a great Labor Day!

[@jeffjackson5331]

Sweet looking camp knife RJ. I have an old that i use all the time. You folks have a wonderful evening.

[@RJsKnives]

Those knives are very useful. Thanks Jeff and have a wonderful day!

[@jeffjackson5331]

@@RJsKnives oh yeah definitely. You are very welcome Rod, will do

[@Seppiedog]

Great looking knife, nice covers. Thanks for sharing RJ, be safe.

[@RJsKnives]

Thanks James! Have a happy Labor Day!

[@Zen_Ali_123]

Nice addition to your scout knife collection

[@RJsKnives]

It is a sub collection that is definitely growing. Thanks Zen!

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Thats very cool. Great video RJ 👍

[@RJsKnives]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@MakesMeNoDifference-sd9qg]

I love to find the different covers that you can find on the generic camp/scout knives. I love official Boy Scouts of America camp knives but the covers are boring. Good find!

[@RJsKnives]

I like these old camp knives, especially if they have different covers. They definitely made a boatload of them back in the day. Thanks Gary!

[@oldphartsknives]

Love those Kamp King knives, but then I have always been a sucker for the spear point blade. Take care brother 🙏

[@RJsKnives]

The spear point is a very useful blade. You know it’s true because it is always on a camp knife. Thanks Old Phart and you take care also!

[@oldphartsknives]

@@RJsKnives let me explain why I love the spear point. We were living in Trinidad when I was 7 (1957), and my dad let me go with him to town so he could by a new knife. He bought 4 identical IXL 4" knives with a single spear point blade. He was carrying the 4th one when he passed away. I am still looking for a simular IXL.

[@RJsKnives]

@@oldphartsknives look up Eggington knives in the UK. They are making IXL knives In Sheffield today using the old methods. I’m going to try and get at least one knife from them later this year. I hope they make your Father’s model.

[@oldphartsknives]

@@RJsKnives thanks, I already check their site on a regular basis, they only have 1 single blade knife with a spear point but it is on a gunstock frame. Will eventually find what I am looking for.
