pocket knive with attachements my grandfather[fathers side] he was a manufacturing engineer with a major international pump company and i suspect it was a gift from a tool salesman , gave it to me in the late 50s it came with a zippered case that rotted away in poor basement storage and a tack hammer attachement my brother destroyed :>{

A Square 10,
I dont mean to derail the thread, but from your pictures it looks like you've got a homemade gun cabinet of sorts.
It looks very nice and professional, I especially like the way you've got the Carbine mounted intide the swinging door, but mounted quite securely.
I dont suppose I could bother you to take a bunch of pictures of how it's build and post them in the general forum so that I can completely rip off your design concept and build one of my own ;)
Also, that second folding knife you posted, the one with the wooden handle... I dont know what it is about it, but it just looks like a very stylish and comfortable design... also looks like it's got some honest use under its belt, and you can't ask for anything more from a good knife.
ill post some photos - i built the cabinets in my garage , in subzero weather , with a temp heater running , from scraps , years ago - i had sketches to guide me that i drew in my warm office , but they were not saved[at least i cant find them] i did layout everything to get them to work , but as most realize i underestimated my needs - they are too small ,
they started off to be basic shipping crates , i thought that would show my rifles and bayonets off in a sympathetic way , but they took on a life of their own useing up 'stuff' id hoarded over the years and some scrap that was dimensionally challenged .........

then i built one for my "newer" stuff - both commonwealth and US ,

the doors are an attempt to salvage space - but make a decent photo for the older rifles and bayos ,
