Also included is a multi-tool folding pocket knife featuring a main blade, corkscrew, and a bottle opener with a screwdriver tip, finished with multi-coloured confetti pattern celluloid scales over a metal frame. The third knife features faux mother-of-pearl celluloid scales, polished metal bolsters, and a metal bail or shackle at one end. The final item is a small hand-held instrument oiler, constructed with a copper body and white metal solder seams, featuring a long curved copper spout and a side-mounted knurled screw filler cap.
