I have a handful of random coins that I've acquired over the years and just got them out to see what I had. Here are a couple for now. Bicentennial coins with a 70's case.

What's the knife? It has very mellow bone, a Queen perhaps?

Shot just after midnight, still some streaks of light in the sky so the colour is not that valid. But here a small RR Barlow and Irish Threepence

The knife is a Queen slimline trapper that I was offered in trade by a member here a few years ago. The tang stamp was used from 1932-1955. I like the knife a lot more than I thought I would; and, accordingly, I carry it often...though I admit that I consider its age and value (to me) when using it.

The coin is an 1838 Coronet (Matron head) large cent. My friends at Google told me it was issued by the United States Mint in Philadelphia from 1816 until 1839. There are two similar designs of the Coronet large cent, the Matron Head and the Braided Hair

Here's a Braided Hair, produced from 1839-1857, for comparison
