Thanks to a smaller handle geometry, the knife rests comfortably in a small hand. The knife’s full rat-tail tang, which runs through the entire handle, provides both strength and stability in each cut. The knife sheath, made of vegetable-tanned leather in its natural color has a belt strap that can be easily attached to a belt and for safety's sake, it is equipped with a simple and classic click-button that secures the knife in the knife sheath. The embossed coat of arms from Dalarna on the knife sheath is a well-preserved detail from the past. The knife sheath should always be mounted on the knife when it is not in use to carefully protect both the user and the sharp edge. When in contact with surfaces other than wood, the edge may become dull. Children's knife handling should always take place under adult supervision. Ever since they were first introduced in the 1930s, the characteristic Scout knives have been an obvious entry-level knife for children and a door opener for a richer outdoor life.
