Remington Boy Scouts Utility Knife, Bone
This four-tool utility knife was made by Remington (Remington-UMC) as an official Boy Scouts of America knife, tang-stamped "REMINGTON UMC MADE U.S.A." on the spear point blade, with the BSA shield inlaid in the handle. Remington's Boy Scout knives were produced from the 1920s into the 1930s, pairing a main blade with a can opener, a cap-lifter/screwdriver, and an awl or leather punch for camp use.
The knife carries a clip point master blade, can opener, cap-lifter/screwdriver, and awl, all in carbon steel, set in jigged bone handle scales with nickel silver bolsters and brass liners. See Condition Notes below for detail.
