All About Pocket Knives

Thanks for the add to the group. Went to an Edmonds, Washington estate sale Sunday. Owner was a WWII Submarine Vet stationed in Japan at the end of WWII. He lived by the sea. I had collected a number of unique items and asked for a bulk price. The man said $30. I spied the knife nearby and asked how much. He threw it in as a freebie. I think it’s abreally nice knife. Tight as a drum, feels very precise opening and closing, never used and brand new condition. Tortoise shell handles. The blades don’t wobble when opened and the assortment includes knife blades, saws, awls, corkscrew, and hidden tweezers and scissors/clippers hidden in the exterior handle. Online I’ve found quite a lore about Kanenaga blades in Japanese history; more recently, Kanenaga Hobo Utensil Knives. But I can find nothing like this knife. Any help with knowledge, possible age, value, history, etc deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you! Was overthinking it.

I would like to see pictures with blades open. I have not seen a knife that looks like this one before but from what i can see i think it is a recently made knife, not vintage. Handles are more likely acrylic than tortoise shell.

Gosh, I've never done that before.
