Scout, Custom Hunting Knives, Lucas ForgeHowdy, folks! Continuing the celebration of the 15-year milestone, here’s a photo of an original.  This is a Scout, the first named Lucas Forge design. We’re kind of fond of the Scout, having used this knife and made memories with it for years…including the legendary Scout that was dramatically swept away on an epic canoe expedition!
