Does This Broken Pocket Knife Still Serve A Purpose, Yes It Does!…..

Not too recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I definitely did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this pocket knife. It did get tossed into my box of “junk” pocket knives. I am posting this pocket knife because it can still be USED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. It is a CHALLENGE, two blades, two tang stamps (both faint), 3 1/4” closed, a long main blade pull, one spring, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, “CHALLENGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) BRIDGEPORT (over) CONN.” The secondary blade front tang stamp says, “CHALLENGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) BRIDGEPORT (over) CONN.” The spring is broken. Both handles or scales are missing. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. The secondary blade does NOT have a half stop. The secondary blade does NOT have an opening snap. The secondary blade does NOT have a closing snap. This pocket knife is in POOR condition. This pocket knife DID need some cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
