Likely is a pocket watch fob knife. Wonder if the hook shaped spoon is an ear wax cleaner.
I can’t imagine the cork screw works very well at unbottling wines.
I got a similar reaction to the little P-38 military can opener on my keychain. A woman saw that and said, "That would make a good weapon.
I've seen some big burly types that would have been game for a fight , literally turn white and pass out at the mere sight of a small hypodermic needle used for common vaccinations or blood samples . Logic has nothing to do with phobias .People have their fears. I have seen a big muscular macho man vomited when he saw a tiny surgical blade in hospital.
Something new and delicious at the Waffle House ?Honestly, we need to be aware that we are surrounded by these twatwaffles and understand that, unfortunately most of our overprotective society is on their side.
To quote the snotty host from Chez Qui.... "I weep for the future"
I'll vouch for that. My brother in law passed out at the sight of a needle when he had to get his blood drawn for the marriage lmaoI've seen some big burly types that would have been game for a fight , literally turn white and pass out at the mere sight of a small hypodermic needle used for common vaccinations or blood samples .

Reply to several comments.
Nope, but a 'knife' the size of a quarter... come on.
I wish I knew more about the knife. I just thought it was a cool little knife and bought it for 50 cents. The smaller blade has a stamp that looks like it may be ELDON. Here is another pic of it. My feeling is it was meant to be a pocket watch fob. Maybe someone will know what it is.

This kind of reaction seems more a bit of melodrama and manipulation motivated by the new "harmlessness " ethos . If someone is truly afraid of someone with a weapon , I believe they would not put on such a show . They would freeze up , cowering or maybe run screaming . Not be confrontational and drive you away . That's dominance behavior .Took my father to Costco for a hearing test appointment. We get there and the technician is a young woman probably early 20s. I go in the sound proof booth with them and wait while she does the testing. About 30 minutes in I'm getting bored. I notice a box of Kleenex next to me (not what you're thinking) and grab one. I pull out my knife that I got at a yard sale over the weekend and start to clean it. All of a sudden the girl gasps and says "OMG put that away I don't feel safe!" (I s*** you not). I think she's joking so I start laughing. She starts hyperventilating and I thought she was about to cry. So I said calm down I'll put it away. She asks me to please leave so I shrug and go look at big screen tv's while the land-whale finishes the tests. Here is the offending knife:

I hope you didn't make your way to the produce department. That knife is way too powerful for bananas. At least the equal of a tanto in XHP.

Sounds totally believable.
Some people have uncontrollable negative reactions to witnessing or being subjected even very minor medical procedures . Yes , I'm sure it has to do with early conditioning .Needles is kind of a different phobia I would say. I am scared of needles myself much worse than a cut from a knife. I know my fear of needles started as a child probably as an infant. I imagine many people’s fear of needles begins as a baby. The anticipation of getting poked by the needle instantly turns me back to an infant.
But what I’m saying is fear of needles is learned probably from a very young age. Thus it is not as irrational a fear imho. Also its not the needle itself. Just sitting on the table its not scarey. Only when it is about to stick me.
Now the irrational part of the fear is I can’t stand to watch other people fetting poked. In movies I tend to look away at a scene of a closeup of someone getting stuck with a needle. This is despite the fact that watching any other “realistic” violence on doesn’t bother me at all. Watching someone get burned alive or their head ripped off doesn’t bother me.

Ironically enough , I suffer from "white coat syndrome " . When I go for a doctor / hospital visit where I have to be the hapless patient , my BP goes thru the roof .That's the only outward sign and I'm not usually consciously frightened . Nothing very rational about these fears .
