DAMASCUS
I went to a swap meet at the Harley dealer yesterday. Didn't find any parts I was looking for, but there was a guy selling hand made knives. Found this and it followed me home. I didn't have any damascus knives. This was part of a set with the other one about twice as big. He was willing to sell this separately. He made the sheath, too.

I'll be looking forward to seeing those Jim, glad to see you out posting again 
Wanted to share my latest project findings. I picked up 2 more camp/scout knives for the collection
Both were in great condition, minimal rust, not worn out and well kept.
They had some minor build up on the bone handles which took the longest to pick clean, other than that not too bad...I was able to get both done in one day.
The biggest score is the "Be Prepared" scout knife made by New York Knife Co, Hammer Brand with beautiful stag handles. Brass liners, with half stops on the tools which is not common on these utility knives
It was the first "Official" scout knife made for BSA
The early days of scouting offered two styles of Official Boy Scout knives, this is No.1 utility pattern. The other No.2 was a easy-open jack with a sheep foot blade and pen blade
Circa 1910-1931
Until late 1922 New York knife had the monopoly, in 1923 rival pocketknife firms Remington and Ulster (Dwight Divine) obtained permissions to make official Scout utility knives like the one posted earlier on in the thread
The second scout is a Camillus four line stamp, similar to the one posted before... and at the price I couldn't pass it up, especially for a war time knife
Circa 1930- mid 40's
Both items purchased from two different sellers totaled $49
The highest was the Hammer for $29 which is a steal

Very faint blade etching still there!

I'd be curious to see it Bill, even more so seeing that your dad owned it
I gave my Grandson a pocket knife from my Dad and one from my wife's Dad. We are having a dinner for him Thursday night to celebrate his 27th birthday on Friday. I'll try to get him to bring them over so I can take some pictures of them. I'd kinda like to see them again myself.

As promised a while back on the late nighters thread is some pictures of the Camillus pilots knife I picked up.
Before:
After clean up:
Also acquired an early Marbles Gladstone woodcraft knife from the same owner
The Woodcraft knife was made with PAT'D 1916 USA stamped on the rear ricasso from 1916 through 1925 or so. A round pommel was used until 1923, when it was replaced by a tear drop shaped pommel. The large 1/2" nut was also used only until 1923, when it was replaced by the small 3/8" nut.
So this one likely dates 1923-25 give or take. Came with the original sheath which is still in great condition
Only needed a little cleaning and leather treatment for the stacked handle

Three of my big boy's fixed blades knives.
I sure like #2 and #3 is in a class of it’s own.

Remington RS3333 scout
Been working on this ol' scout knife off and on for the last week.
It was listed on Ebay as an Ulster with a buy it now for $29 with free shipping. I pounced on it without even blinking as I recognized the acorn shield...not an Ulster but a Remington
Has some rust issues but considered it minimal for the price.
Here are the before pictures upon arrival , I'll post the after pictures in a separate post.

After cleaning and polishing...
Remington Arms Company began producing cutlery in 1920. Their plant in Bridgeport, Connecticut began producing Boy Scout knives in 1923, and continued making quality BSA knives until their cutlery division was sold to the Pal Blade Company in 1939.
REMC4A, BSA #1496, Remington #RS3333 The first Remington BSA knife, introduced in 1923. The REMC4A had four blades: a spear with short, thin nail nick, a smooth awl, a one-piece can opener, and a short flat blade screwdriver/cap lifter combo. The bolsters each had a single line, and a permanent shackle or bail was on the end opposite the shield end. The shield was the "acorn" style shield. The can opener had a vertical pull, so there was a notch in the shield side handle to accomodate the vertical pull. Beautiful brown bone handles, brass milling on the spine, brass liners and lined nickel silver bolsters. This knife was produced between 1923-1924.
Cleaned up great, has some minor pitting but overall was in fantastic condition for its age!

I'm finally getting around to posting the knives I gave my Grandson. The yellow one belonged to my Dad and the brown was my Father-in-law's. Grandson brought them over the other day to let me take the pictures. I'm not going to clean them up, he can do that, or leave them as they were left to me.

Thanks for sharing them with us Bill, they're a couple of neat old knives
The brown stockman looks like a Kutmaster, but what brand is the yellow jack knife?
Also a note on your dad's...it looks like the celluloid has started to break down (outgassing) so if he has it with other knives might want to separate it from them....

The knife has a very distinctive long pull, well that and the jigging on the delrin scales was helpful in identifying the brand as they quit putting bone on them in the early 60's...
Your dad's could possibly be an early colonial, Imperial or hammer...but that's guessing here

Boker USA, w/federal shield (pre 40's) looks like stag bone handles, brass pins and liners, ringed nickel silver bolsters. Research states possibly a late 20's-30's knife. A change in shape of shield from1940's throughout 50's
This one was a working man's (or womans) knife. Had what looked like old paint hardened in the nail nick and inside the the channel, along with pocket lint, dirt and field debris.
If this old knife could talk...
The tips were re-profiled on both blades, loss of steel either from breakage or regular use.
Had to reshape it just a bit and sharpen.
Great ol knife with plenty of life left

Nice find. I was going to the local flea market yesterday and look for treasures, lots of rain so no treasure hunting.
