My Great-Uncle used to have this old multi-tool (honestly don't know what to call it) hanging on a nail on the wall of his cabin when I was a little kid in the 70's. He never used it, just hung there with various other "wall hangers" for decorative purposes.
He passed on over 25 years ago, and the knife was found amongst some other junk and given to me.
I'm curious if anyone has seen anything similar and could indentify or date this? No idea what type of metal the blades are made of; handles appear to be some type of bone, maybe. The only identifying marks on the entire piece are something "test" and "japan" on the largest blade. Overall length without the hanging loop is around 4.75", and the longest main blade is about 4".
Sorry for the crappy pics. Don't own a nice camera and work too much to ever be home when there's natural light out!
No interest in value, as it's never going up for sale. Will probably hang on my wall in the 'gun room'. Thanks in advance for any info.
