All About Pocket Knives

Recently, this souvenir or tourist pocket knife arrived and it now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general pocket knife collection. It was in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I am happy to have it, but I did not buy the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. It is a MADE IN U.S.A., one blade, two tang stamps, 2" closed, key shaped, souvenir or tourist pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "MADE IN (over) U.S.A." The main blade back tang stamp says "PATENT (over) APPLIED FOR" The main handle side says "SOUVENIR - OF - EASTON, PA." Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. It needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you, Coley.
The handles or scales appear to
be the synthetic cracked ice type.

Thank you, Kevin.

That was the first thing id do when traveling as a kid… buy a pocket knife at the gift shop … Mom always took them away, especially the switchblades. I figure these fit the thread. Made by Schrade in the manufacture building at the 1904, one is a salesman sample.

Nice pickup, J.O'. I would have been all over that one.

It was in a box of maybe 30, ($6) broken junkers. The owner doesn't care about knives and, blind squirrel that I am, I find a nut once in a while. Today I found two. The other one is on the Mystery Knife Game thread right now. Take a guess on it. J.O'.

Thanks Skip. thought you'd like it. J.O'.

Sixth to the right top picture size? Is it a mini? I have been searching for similar mini-knife with that indian beaded style sheath that they used to vend at carnivals, fairs and tourist attractions say maybe 50 years ago.

Went through my knives to see if I had a fitting specimen for this thread. Came up with one.
A Victorinox Elinox.

Zürich is not the Capitol of Switzerland but it is the largest city in Switzerland with close to 422,000 residents. Wouldn't mind visiting there some day.
