Amazing what you find unpacking AFTER moving...

[GRNSHRK]

So I'm going through a box of my stuff which I moved intact and didn't even bother to look inside before moving it

I came across this strange looking knife, thought at first it was a clamming knife, for shucking clams

But it does have a name on it, Simav Napoli, so I did a Google search, and came to find out that it's a WWII Italian Navy sailor's knife

Kinda cool, but I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what a couple of these blades are for

I also saw a few for sale on flea bay for $40 and $50, yikes

Anyhoo, bored like the rest of us, stuck at home, so I thought I'd share

Hey Bobby - How are things in Paso/SLO..

The curved pointy fold out is known as a Marlins Spike. Sailors and Yachtsmen multi-tool used for rigging and splicing rope/line as well as tying nautical knots. The 2 prong fold out could be used as a Shackle Bolt Remover and Can-opener.
I’ve used similar tools when I was in the Sea Scouts in Monterey in my youth 50 some odd years ago...

Hey Dug, check out that we moved to Gilroy, not Paso, not that far south

Interesting possible uses for this knife, but I still think it could be used for shucking clams

BTW, I was a boy scout myself, went all the way to Eagle

Hope you guys are well

Have you seen the Arrow?

[GRNSHRK]

Uh, what arrow...

[dlvad]

Thought perhaps as a Eagle Scout you may also be a member of Order of the Arrow...
The arrow Q is one way for members to identify one another asking and answering this correctly..
Sounds a bit Korny I know.

[GRNSHRK]

OK, got it, and yes, was a member of the Order of the Arrow as well

Don't recall much else, as that was a LONG time ago

I did find a bunch of scout stuff as well too, merit badges and whatnot, including my eagle award

[hornhospital]

Never made it to Eagle. Missed it by one merit badge and two months, much to my shame. I was Brotherhood OofA, WoaCholena Lodge 322. And that was a LONG time ago. Boy Scouts were a huge part of my growing up. I even sponsored an Explorer Post for years.

Here ya go Ken, about 46 years of age

Think I was close to timing out as well

Had to do it, as my older brother did as well
