Boy Scout/Buck Knife Help
Posted: March 31, 2008 2:13 pm

So, hubby was an Eagle Scout, so long ago. He always carried his red boy scout buck knife with him. You know, being prepared and all.
Well, the elevator door at our parking garage got stuck and he used his knife blade to separate and open them. In the process, the top 1/4" of the knife chipped off.
He is uberbummed 'cause he's had that knife for a long, long time. His birthday is on Wednesday and he's been not-so-subtle about wanting a new one--preferably an "old" new one.
I've tried searching, but I think I'm doing it fuctarded because I can't find what I'm looking for, and SmartFilter keeps giving me a "Weapons" denial.
Can someone help? Hubby said it might be found as a collectible rather than a regular-use type thing.
I also don't have to give it to him on his birthday--as long as he knows it's on its way he'll be happy--and he understands his wife is a slacker that way (he's usually in charge of presents at our house).
It has to be a red, Boy Scout-issue buck knife.
Much thanks.

Buck knife, or Swiss Army Knife? Was it a jacknife with a couple blades, a canopener . . . you know, or was it simply a knife with one blade that folded out and locked open?
The first is a swiss army knife, the second is a buck knife. Both companies have websites that you can access. The BSA may even have a website that you can search and find something. Once you know what you are looking for jump on Ebay or something similar and see what comes up.

Not a Swiss Army knife.
I think this is it...

I thought there would be something on BSA, but I couldn't find any kind of store or anything.
I can usually find anything on the Internet if it exists, but I'm sucky today.

Just gotta muster the energy to call and order it. I'm a point and click kind of gal. Talking to people kinda freaks me out, s'pecially when it's about something I know nothing about.
That's how hubby usually ends up just ordering his birthday presents himself.

Probably too small, but it has the BSA logo on it.

I, too, am an Eagle Scout. We have a local Scout Shop here in Pittsburgh located at Flag Plaza. I have that knife as well, and if you're looking for others like it, you could check out their site:

It's under camping.

Talk about being prepared. Not only a beer bottle opener, but a bong poker, too.
