This two-blade hatchet knife was made by the Union Cut Co. of Olean, New York, tang-stamped "UNION CUT CO." on both blades, with an oval "BOY SCOUTS" shield inlaid in the handle. Union Cut Co. (later known for its KA-BAR brand) produced official Boy Scouts of America knives in the early 20th century, pairing a standard clip point blade with a small hatchet blade for camp use.
