If you go onto that auction site that shall not be named, and enter a search for Swiss Army Knife Lanyard - auctions for this lanyard will come right up. The end of the lanyard looks like the top of a pen, which is nice, as it lets your SAK sit nice and deep in your pocket, and it looks like an innocent pen in your pocket - and pulls the SAK or any knife out with ease. The price for these is right - and I have a second one arriving within the next couple days.

I'm a big fan of American Indian culture and art. This buckle is early 60s vintage, not hallmarked in any way - clearly a bespoke piece. The effort that went into fashioning this buckle is quickly becoming a lost art. There are still artisans who can create works like this, but they cost a fortune new. As what is referred to as dead old pawn, I got it for a song.

This is a red bone model 6318HP medium serpentine stockman from the year of 1975. Both sides match nicely and it has the satin finished stainless razor edge blades.
