Wazu: both Cases look great. I can see I am just in the earliest stage of scout collecting. Is the white one bone?

Here's a saw cut Delrin Boy Scout by Ulster. As many times that I've looked at it, it's the first time I noticed it has Stainless Steel etched on the Master blade. What do you think the age of this knife is?

I stopped at the local Boy Scout store a while back and I lucked out. They still had these two knives in stock. The Bear MGC is not up to par with most of the other knife companies from the past. The scales actually look plastic. The jigging is cut short and I can't find any Brass at all. It's an economy 4 tool knife for sure. I'm sure it will be a good EDC ::tu::

::idea:: It's a handy size and came with a simple belt sheath so I think I'll give it some EDC time too. Thanks for the idea.

Ed Holbrook, in his book Official Scout Blades shows that knife being produced from 1966-1976. Ole Johnnierotten is right on the money.

WB,
Your Girl Scout is Devine 8) It's the first one I've ever seen. All the Girl Scout knives I've seen have been green handled except for your Dwight Devine and this Remington model R4373 for sale on ebay now.

A Robeson bone handled, two blade Girl Scout knife with trefoil GS shield and "Girl Scout" etch on master.

It dates, judging by the bone and its tang stamp, as being from the 1930's.

No one has been able to explain the existence of this knife and the four or five others of which I am aware.

I'm sure I posted this early on in this thread, but this is a good place to remind everyone of the possibilities out there.

Photo should expand with a left click.

Here is a Utica Featherweight Girl Scout with bone handles. Like Charlie, I posted this one earlier and I believe it dates to the 1930's.

Charlie - I'm sure you could use some holiday cash, are you ready to give that beautiful Robeson Girl Scout knife a new home? I'm counting the $100's waiting for your reply.
