Knife Packaging

Post by Mason »

Always great to find a new knife, but it's a nice bonus when we can come upon the original packaging also. Here are a few examples, please add more.

Somewhere around here is a little cracked ice handled dog leg jack in a box with a penny, to get back when the knife was gifted to someone.

It belongs to my son, but I think it's still here.

Looks to me the packaging is as good or better to collect as the knife itself.

I especially like the Eli Lilly knife and its presentation. Brings back memories
when Lilly was one of the top 5 drug manufacturers in the world.

I have several myself but most are not in the original packaging. I do have a Miss Army Knife(pink SAK designed for the ladies) around somewhere.Here are some:
Black Knight Sword
Miss Army Knife(not w/package)
Peter Pan knife(McDonald's giveaway I think)
Swiss Bubble knife
Space 1999 multiblade(all plastic)
Four Wannatoy knives
Knife and axe set(I think by Marx)
A Marx barlow
and last is a knife that the blade slides into the handle when pressed against someone.All plastic.

These are fairly uncommon but to find one in the display box it came!! They were made to compliment the Parker pens of the period. Utica made some great stuff.
