My own odd ball entry. Think horticulture meets lobster elephant toe. Budding blade, baby pruner, small clip and rope blade.

KA-BAR Tactical Spork. It works! Not so good for soup, though.

Every tool a person could need, in a less than 2.5 inch package -- even a saw! (Or maybe it's a serrated blade?) Note the tang stamp:

BARLOW
STAINLESS
JAPAN

Some crazy knives here! Unlike other early sets I have, this one doesn't have a blade or awl in the handle. The blade and tools attach by pressing down on the button on the back.

These came from Portugal. I don't think I've ever seen a lockback quite like these....

Yep, for cutting fruit

Why is it called like that?

The Dad's Disappointment was just a nickname really. Richards of Sheffield made the inexpensive sets, which many dads once received as Christmas gifts
