Ulster Craftsman & Gung-Ho Girl Guides

I agree with Ray, the corkscrew was to open bottles that held various substances not just alcohol. The blade that puzzles me is the Marlin spike, very unusual on a girl scout knife.

I wonder if it could have been used for either knot tying or possibly weaving baskets.

Marlin spike is self defense, esp. if locking, which these are not.
So these knives were for Girl Guides in Britain and Canada, but not in USA ?
There are Girl Scout knives made in USA but no Girl Guides knives that i know of.
Are there no Girl Guides in USA, just Girl Scouts ?

Roland As far as I know the Girl Guides are English and Canadian only.

Roland, I also have a belt for girl guides from New Zealand, almost identical to the one I posted above.

Pretty sure if New Zealand had the guides so too would Australia and others

Yes, so Britain and the Commonwealth got these metal "Girl Guides" knives and nowhere else.
