Lot 849: An Assortment of Vintage and Modern Folding Pocket Knives and a Leather Sheath
A mixed collection of folding cutlery featuring a variety of patterns and handle materials. The group includes several multi-tool folders in the style of Swiss Army knives with red plastic scales, a large folding knife with contoured wooden handle scales and a brass pivot, and a decorative folder with inlaid iridescent shell, likely abalone. Also present are knives with textured black handles, including an electrician style knife with a lanyard bail, and a folder with cream-coloured scales. The lot includes a single stitched brown leather sheath. Construction appears to be a mix of steel blades with brass or steel liners. Style characteristics are consistent with manufacturers such as Victorinox and various Sheffield or American cutlery firms.
