Old Imperial Cub Scout Knife

[Cgrutt]

Found it sitting in top of one of my tool boxes. Stamped Imperial Prov RI US. I'm sure new ones are made in China. Probably been there past 40 years.



So a little elbow grease later, passed it onto my boy, who just moved up to boy scouts this past week...

And the tradition continues!

Has he gotten his tottin chit or whatever it's called to carry a knife in scouts yet?

Nice knife and that's awesome he was given the hand me down!

Nice find!

[Meketrefe]

Cool! What is the tool in the back? just a spike?

We could make a game show out of this...What will CG find next in his garage? The answer after this commercial break...

Seriously, nice find! It's pretty awesome when you stumble across things like this!

Awesome! I love the handing down of heirlooms. I never joined the boy scouts but I wanted to join just to get that knife. lol
Unfortunately I'm the only one in my family that has any bush-craft skills or desire to be in the wilderness.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Oh... you have no idea, LOL...

Good question, believe it's a some sort of marlin spike for rope work but it has a pretty sharp edge (which I just made sharper, LOL)...

Yeah Jerry has discovered some pretty awesome stuff in his garage. Was he the one that found those old awesome Griswold cast iron pans? Those are nice!

I don't believe that was Sailor Jerry maybe Harley Hutch? Sailor Jerry is sorta the Go Big or Go Home kind a guy...

Now I got to see if I still have my BSA knife.
