Old SWK

Can anyone give me the approximate age of the SWK?

That's sumpin' that probably belonged to Barney or Fred years ago before they got on the boat to Archaicsville.

Pretty funny!

Interestingly enough, the Romans a couple millennia ago had a form of hobo. I personally believe this to be the first multifunction folding knife. Apparently, they were quite a common item, as I have also seen a version that did not have the smaller tools (said to be an awl, ear cleaner, and toothpick).

Original artifact:

Modern reproduction. If it weren't for the fact they were about a hundred bucks, I'd get one.
