Got this one in yesterday, just now getting around to posting a pic. Another addition to my Scout Family. Bought this one from a fellow collector & friend for $20, and couldn't pass it up. A Utica Girl Scout Featherweight with the GS Shield and black composite handles. The blades are like new, fantastic snap and looks to have never been on a stone since the factory edge. The blades and bolsters do have some tiny scratches & age spots, but I don't believe this has been used. There is a place on the bolster that looks like it could have been dropped, but doesn't bother me. I have done nothing to the knife, here it is after I took it out of the package.

The covers are what drew me to it....
The mark side has a crack thru the rocker pin but I am going to try to clean it and put some zap-a-gap in in the crack.

JKB, someone will recognize that can opener/cap lifter blade. I’ve seen similar ones on Cattaraugus and also on English military issue knives but not exactly the same.

Nice knife!

The bone handled two blade EZ Opener a couple of pages back was made by Robeson, but the U.S.A. on the tang stands for United States Army and dates from WWII.

Just got this IMPERIAL, Prov.,R.I., USA scoutie about an hour ago in Parsonsburg, MD. Iron, multi-layered liners. Aside from some fading of the red Delrin, and tarnish on the bale, it appears to have never been used. Absolutely untouched factory edges on the main and punch. Etch is perfect, (can't do it justice in the reflective photo). Anybody know the years of the red Delrin scales? Happy Day! :D
Thanks, J.O'.

Here are my latest scout knives, some from the bay. The short line Camillus I got at a gun show, been wanting a Camp Glo for awhile. I Made my first purchase from the AAPK store, a Buster Brown shoes scout. Thanks Lee!
Does anyone know anything about the Solid Steel tang stamped one? I'm guessing German 30's 40's??
