Kamp King
 

Gents,

I used to have a bunch of Kamp King knives stuck all over the place for sudden needs. Now I find myself needing similiar knives. Anyone know if they are still available somewhere or something similiar?

I'm not sure about the original Kamp King knives, but the boy scouts have a knife very similar. I did see a few Kamp King knives on ebay after a cursory check there. Allthough they wanted about twice what a new knife from the boy scouts cost.

Another thought would be to commission Mr. Harsey to make you one.

Ebay has some originals

Kamp King, that's a brand I haven't heard of in a while.

I am looking for an eqivalent in the price range of the old one, about $3.00

Got one around here somewhere. Had it since I was a kid and it's a little rusty but still works. The only accessory on it I ever really used though was the bottle opener. I have a green plastic handled Bundeswehr pocket knife that's similiar, also have a stainless Camillus. Never really got into the Swiss ones.

Granted they did seem expensive,but they did have a couple under $3.00.........:cool:

Had an engineer on my team once that was really good at survival skills. His favorite "steel" as in flint and steel for firemaking was a carbon steel Kamp King. The SS ones were not fer crap as far as making fire...
