Vintage Utica Featherweight 3 3/8" Girl Scouts Knife M311 Spiral Punch VGC 1942-45
A very clean example of a somewhat scarce WW2 era Girl Scout knife made by Utica from the years 1942 to 1945. It features carbon steel blades, mottled green and black celluloid** (!), and aluminum liners, bolsters and GSA shield with steel bail.
This knife has a dulled factory edge with a few stray scratches from use but all other blades are with their original bright finish (NOT buffed). This one is with the spiral punch which was only made from 1942-45. This model 311 was previously made with the other regular punch from 1933-45.
A nice find here. The war time knife production was small with very little going to the civilian market. For a knife of it's period it's in great shape.
**Keep celluloid out of the sun and high temperatures. It is not as stable as other composite materials and can degrade quickly if treated badly.
