Title: Girl Scout Knife
Post by: Pacu on January 12, 2019, 10:55:43 PM: I found an old Girl Scout Knife at a giant flea market last weekend. Little research shows it's a Kutmaster, 1948 to 1972, by Utica (NY) Cutlery. Bought it for a friend at work who was in Girl Scouts during this time period. I've seen them every now and then but not often.
As a Boy Scout i buy scout knives whenever possible but I think I need to look into Girl Scout knives too. Down another $ rabbithole. ::) ::) ::)
