Looking for a particular knife.

[Woody girl]

I'm looking for a knife I used to own as a girl guide in the 1970s.
It had one blade and a marlin spike and was engraved with girl guides on the side. Colour silver.
I have found a few on line but most are old posts so have been sold.
Wondering if anyone has one for sale ? (or similar without the engraving of girl guides .)
This is for my vintage kit set up.

Or something like this ?

Very much like that. Didn't have the cutout bit in the handle but other than that it's pretty close .
Is it for sale?

They're about 12 quid on the internet

They are still issued to the army (or at least they were a few years back). I had to do a weeks survival course on Bodmin Moor equipped with a particularly battered, blunt, and wobbly bladed example. That one wasn't engraved with the girl guides logo, but I recall that there were some Royal Marines on the same course, so theirs almost certainly were.

What's very interesting is that the Boy Scout's version of a similar era had a corkscrew on it

I had something similar whilst in Belize, possible the Aircrew version as it didn’t have the Marlin spike but a screwdriver like thing on one end, which I think was for pressing the room service button.

How vintage are you looking for? This is a army issue without the marlin spike from 1968

Mine was given to me in the mid to late 1960s. I think it was second hand so no idea of the actual vintage. I had it on my gg uniform from about 1968 /72.
Just had a blade and a spike. No can opener. Don't think girl guides were supposed to want or need them!

Fieldserviceantiquearms.co.uk has one for £25

As a scout I would have had little interest in the can opener too!

Guys.... Read the op again.... Single blade and a marlin spike.... It's not an army knife ! It's a mariners style knife.

I think the words girl guide on the side gave that away. I posted a knife of a similar era by way of discussion/comparison.

Actually, the army knife from the inter-war and later period (the one with black scalloped scales) had exactly the same blades as my Scout knife - corkscrew (for some reason), can opener, marlin spike and single blade. My Dad's was still in his toolbox but it disappeared when he died

I’m guessing it would be this one the OP refers to?

or similar?

Yo !! Nice one
