Key Chain Fob Knives

Love those ones with the "lanyard bale" (sp?)

A few weeks ago when I went to the NKCA show in Shepardsville, KY, there was a person there that had a huge collection of key chain fob knives. I don't know a thing about them but was amazed at the variety of them. Apparently these were used as promotional and advertising items back in the day.

I have one that belonged to my great grandad, pictured here. This one is about 1.5" long closed and stamped USA on the blade.

Post'em here if you got'em.

Wow... that's a blast from the past. I remember seeing knives just like that one when I was a kid (I'm 46 now). I can remember seeing a few of them over the years with different advertising on the scales, but the white scales and red printing on your knife really clicked something on in my memory banks. I remember really wanting one of these little knives badly when I was a boy.

Stay sharp,
