A collection of folding pocket knives in various patterns, construction methods, and materials, representative of late 19th and 20th-century European? manufacture. The group includes a single-blade pen knife with cream-coloured synthetic? or bone? scales and an oval white metal shield; an unusual twin-handled folding knife featuring two separate handle scales on a steel frame; and a slim pen knife with mother-of-pearl? scales and two carbon steel blades. Also included is a larger decorative folding knife with hardwood? centre scales, embossed brass? bolsters featuring foliate motifs, and a lanyard ring at the pommel. The final item is a miniature fob knife with translucent amber-coloured synthetic? scales and a single blade. The blades are generally constructed from carbon steel and show varying degrees of surface oxidation. No maker names are legible on the tangs or scales.
