An assortment of vintage folding pocket knives featuring various traditional utility patterns. The collection includes a pruning or hawkbill knife with a curved steel blade and dark hardwood? handle scales, likely ebony or rosewood, secured with brass pins and a steel bolster. Also included is a multi-blade picnic knife featuring striated horn? scales with characteristic black and honey-toned banding, equipped with a primary blade, secondary pen blade, corkscrew, and a brass lanyard ring. The group further contains a Barlow-style folder with jigged black synthetic? scales and a shield-shaped white metal? inlay, a large jack knife with light-coloured natural bone? or imitation bone scales and a rectangular white metal? shield, and a slim single-blade folder with dark horn? scales. Several blades exhibit impressed marks at the tangs, including a circular device and linear text, though these are not clearly legible as specific names. The metal components are constructed from carbon steel with white metal? bolsters and brass liners.
