The guys at the boy scout place freak me out, I think they want somethin more than ma money.  You'd think at 38 I'd be too old fer em.

Thank you.  I'm really thinkin about buyin one.  I had one that was made of all plastic when I was a kid an I think I'm ready fer the real deal.  That plastic knife blade weren't much good on Del's CFS.   ;D

My dad gave me a camp set that he'd used in the Forest Service long before I was born.  It had a knife / can opener / bottle opener, spoon, and a fork that all nested together and locked into a spring steel clip.  My son lost it at summer camp one year and I've never seen another like it.  It was very compact and fit into a WWII Army mess kit.

If I could find one again at a reasonable price, I'd buy it.  Heck, I'd buy two of the durn things.

My Dad finds stuff like that through the Marine Corps League.  I'll ask him next time I talk to him.  I'd like one too.
