Let customers speak for us
from 438 reviewsI think this knife gets over shadowed by OE's other knives. The other knives are great, but the Contour is such an awesome compact tool. 95% of the time this blade length is just right. Fits perfect in your hand. I got this one on Outdoor Element's Whatnot.com auction. Came with this sweet engraving. Fits snug on any strap or belt. I use the whistle to signal fellow hikers who explored a different nearby path. Can't wait for my boys to be old enough for one of these. Don't forget to grab some Fiber Light too, its half the fun!
This skillet was a hopeless mess. But I got it all cleaned up pretty quick! Easy grip, nice and strong tool.
Ever been to an Airbnb and NO knives are sharp? Yes, you have because no Airbnb has sharp knives. Dull, can't cut meat, tomatoes, or vegetables. I used the built-in sharpener on my Scout sheath and it worked great! The Scout Feather cuts all these things no problem, but now the house knives do as well. The next renter will thank me.
It's also great on the camp site of course. However, next I will get a Slicer for my food pack.
Fishing poles against the canoe, fall down. Against the table, fall down. Against a tree, fall down. Laying on the ground, not an option. Clipped into the Charlottes Web, problem solved!
It took 1 minute to set up, awesome tool! Had it been swimming weather there would be suits, towels, and flops on the Web as well. The Web stays in my Must Have bag for camping.
I have bought three of these one for my daughter and me and friend for his SAK. my daughter has one her Classic SD. mine is on my framer I carry every day we live in rural part of Oklahoma I'm a volunteer Fire Fighter and carry it as anther signaling device. the one for my friend is his he keeps in his line Pack he works for state forestry and travels the Sak is custom smokey the bear huntsman with orange whistle. the scales were swapped over to a huntsman
My scout feather glow came in about 7 days. It was sharp & seems to function well. I love the features & everything put into this small light package.
I like fits nice in hand! Fire steel throws sparks nicely, whistle is loud! And already sharp! I put on my go bag for a nice small blade just in case!
I love my carabiner and scratch key. I initially thought the key would be some gerryrigged contraption maybe with glue where the sparker would fall off easily but it is literally like part of the key.
But more importantly their team hand-wrote me a note for purchasing this product alone! It wasnt even part of a huge haul or anything, literally just one item! I appreciate the dedication which is why Im writing this review too :))
Love this scrubber. Game changer for use with my dutch oven after cooking peach cobbler in it!
Great knife. It’s the 3rd one I have purchased. That alone should tell you how happy I am with the product and the company,,
I bought the Orange Glow Scout on Outdoor Element's Whatnot.com auction. Adding to my collection of their other knives and cool gear. This is a great addition! Cool orange color, easy to find amongst your gear during the day, easy to find at night in a dark tent. They engrave the knives they sell on auction, this one has an owl on it. Gave an engraved Contour to my dad, he loves it! Check out OE Whatnot auctions, they have other really cool and unique engravings they only sell on the auctions.
Also including a pic of my Grey Glow Scout while out exploring. It has lasted years, has taken a bit of a beating, but still looks new and is still sharp. I always carry a Scout and Fiber Light with me. OE products are a great value.
Itty bitty, but effective. Handy to have in my pocket for dog walks. I have one in the car and in my bag too. The glow in the dark is fun. Can’t say enough good things about this company. I don’t think you can go wrong with any purchase from them.
Well made, Comfortable . I use it daily to wear my scout feather, but I like wearing it alone too. I haven’t needed it for fire starting, but it did help dig out a splinter. . . So yeah! Highly recommend this necklace, and the company too. Fabulous customer service and quick shipping.
This is a great little set for on the trail or at camp. Fits about anywhere. Works as a plate for uneven surfaces. Put it on a rock, a stump, some pine needles. Convenient to have a toothbrush right there.
Fiber Light is slick! It ignites so easy. I use it to light my charcoal grill. Ignite it with my Scout Feather, scoop it with the knife into the grill, set the chimney of charcoal on top. No problem lighting it on a windy wet day out in the wild. You can see in my video it has no problem staying lit in the wind.
Starting fires is fun, but while camping you want to start the fire and move on. Fiber Light lights so fast, and stays lit long enough to ignite the rest of your kindling. If you have an OE knife or Firebiner, you should grab a few of these.
