Identification of a strange knife-type thing

[ivan_yulaev]

This is kind of not a knife, but I'm not sure where to post this. Anyway, it looks like a pen, with three sections. It has a compression holder on the end. When you unscrew each section, there are three slots for small razor blades, which can be put into the compression holders on either end, kind of like an xacton knife. The whole things is the size of a pen, although a bit heavier. I can't find any brand, except on the clip it says "Patent no. 112778" Anyone know what this is?

Strange, searching for that patent number at the US Patent Office, a design for an "egg carrier" shows up. It was designed by a certain A. H. Bryant in 1871

I think you're talking about this:

My mother in law gave me one as a birthday gift, knowing that I like knives, multi's, and general gadgets. It's actually pretty cool, having 12 tools (including a pen). All the blades store inside the barrel sections. It's all metal construction so it's sturdier than you might expect. I keep mine in my desk at work (in my BucketBoss brand Mug Boss, of course).

That looks exactly like what he is describing.... good job. But the thread is over 12 years old, how in the heck did you stumble across it?
