The post by @[email protected] got me thinking about knives I’ve had for a while.

This is my first knife, older than I care to discuss, that I had as a Cub Scout. I had thought it lost forever until we moved in Nov 2021 when I found it in a box.

Still in surprisingly good shape and the backspring in decent working order. Needs a sharpening but other than that, I could give this to a Cub Scout today. (Being a knife guy all my kids already have Scout knives so, I can keep this one for me.)

How about you? Do you have any knives from when you were a kid?

    Hey, I love that! I definitely begged my parents for mine, back when I was a kid in Scouts

      I don’t remember receiving the knife but I do remember doing some whittling with it (ie. pointy sticks). But as a Cub Scout there wasn’t a ton of opportunity for using a knife, it was kinda limited. Later on in Boy Scouts though, many pointy sticks LOL
