Description

A collection of approximately 40 multi-tool pocket knives, consistent with those often found in ‘TSA Confiscated’ lots. The knives are designed in a “Swiss Army style” and many feature attached keyrings. Handle materials vary, including simulated wood-grain, solid red, blue, maroon, and silver-toned plastic or metal. Each knife contains standard metal tools such as blades, corkscrews, and screwdrivers. A significant number of the knives are decorated with laser-engraved or printed text and imagery, functioning as promotional or souvenir items for various U.S. locations and businesses, including “Grand Canyon West,” “Lake Tahoe,” “Fisherman’s Wharf,” “USS Bowfin Pearl Harbor,” “Yosemite National Park,” “Andersen Consulting,” and “Port of Seattle.” Other visible inscriptions include personalized names such as “Ray,” “Brian,” “Kelly,” “Ryan,” and dedications like “World’s Greatest Dad” and “#1 Brother.” One knife is presented in its original clear plastic packaging, labeled “Grand Canyon Skywalk.” The collection is of a contemporary or recent vintage period.
