Well I'm a boy scout and I just earned my totin' chit and I need a pocket knife to use. It's for camping. I would like one for $0-$40.
Oh yeah it can't be more than 3 inches long.
Hello Scout: Now that you've earned your tot'n'chip, you know that the best pocket knife has four blades; a large utility blade, a can opener, a small whitling blade, and a punch. The best knife to take camping is a cheap one that you won't be sad about when it is lost. If you can't afford to lose it, and must have it, use a short piece of rope to tie it to your belt. My favorite knife is the four-blade stainless steel government issue knife. I paid less than $10 on eBay for it, and have had it for four years or so. It is great for camping, and I use it nearly daily at work. The blade is not excessively sharp, but for cutting cord, sharpening a stick, or whitling fire tinder, it is very handy.
The other writer suggested a pocket tool like the leatherman, these are great as well, but I have difficulty using the knife, but the other tools inside are very handy at work, not so much at camp. Sadly, I lost mine a few days ago after only having it a few weeks. Still have the four-blader tho'.
I also have a Victorinox Swiss Army knife that I take on some trips. The only other blade that I use is the small saw that it has. If you get one as a gift, that is good, but I would stick to your simple four-blade model. The BSA model is a good knife, but it is not economical for a Scout to pay that much for a camping tool.
Keep on Scoutin'
