...Reasonably needed a lockback knife. We got him a Gerber Gator folder (plain as opposed to serrated edge). Took it to him and one of the instructors happened to be checking up on him when we got there. He said he always recommended (and carried) the Gerber Gator.

SO I got lucky on my knife pick.

Here's a link to one place
Gerber Gator Link

Corey said he has carried one with him since. When he was doing EMS he bought a serrated blade one to use as his seatbelt cutting knife.

Corey HIGHLY recommended the knife for your Scout.

Let us know how it goes.
