Hey geocash,
Love that Tuxedo!

Very cool knife!

Are most Tuxedo knives that small. I've never had one.
What's the two headed

Whatchamacallit?

Thanks Tom. I have this & another Tuxedo that are both 3" L, one that is 2 7/8" L & a fourth that is 3 1/4" L. I believe they're typical. And that "thing" is my talisman, or the closest thing I've got to a talisman. I found it in a creek bank 50 or 60 years ago & thought it was neat. About 10 years ago I learned it's actually a part of a belt that was in use in the South around the Civil War & may have been cast in Great Britain. Someone posted a picture of one on here within the last year that was almost identical to mine & they were in Australia if I recall correctly.
this is the one i have, was found near a creek in australia.
Cool!

Thanks for posting yours so that we can compare the two.

Here's an idea, yours was found near a creek, his (geocash's) was found in a creek on different sides of the globe. This leads me to think they may have had something to do with British soldiers & maybe something to do with belts or canteens?

Maybe?

I found an old tobacco pipe head in a creek as a kid. I'll see if I can find it and post it here with my EDC'c on the weekend.
Nice toothpick!
Gotta run,
Tom
