This is modern era Chinese made BSA four blade camp knife. The build is excellent and the bone handles beat the snot out of the stag Delrin used on the the new Bear & Son "scout" knife that cost twice as much. While it saddens me that the Boy Scouts had to allow Taylor to out source the manufacturing. I blame our government, not the Boy Scouts. The Scouts need to keep cost low so parents and Scouts can afford to participate.
