A great little silver antique pocket knife tool accessory with two working stainless steel blades.

A pocket knife is a folding knife with one or more blades that fit inside the handle that can still fit in a pocket. It is also known as a jackknife or jack-knife. A typical blade length is 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches. Pocket knives are versatile tools, and may be used for anything from opening an envelope, cutting twine, slicing a piece of fruit or even as a means of self-defense.
The peasant knife, farmer knife, or penny knife is the original and most basic design of folding pocket knife, using a simple pivoted blade that folds in and out of the handle freely, without a backspring, slipjoint, or blade locking mechanism.
