Material
stainless steel
Condition Remarks
There are cracks running top-to-bottom around each of the metal bolts/nails at each end of the handle. Ivory (?) may be discoloured from age. The metal edges of the handle appear tarnished, especially along the side where the blades can be pulled out.
Small light brown box with an image on the lid of a kneeling Mountie inside a circle looking through binoculars. 'Odds and Ends' is printed in cursive above the circle, and 'Kitimat Canada' is printed to the lower right. There is a jagged triangular pattern along 3 edges of the lid and around the circle, the latter of which also has a border of white, blue, red, and yellow stripes. The lid has two hinges, each in a fanciful shape with six curls and three dots; this shape is mirrored on the top of the lid and the back side of the box. At the front of the box there is a cardboard latch with a snap button to close up the box. Inside the box are more decorative shapes and the name 'KEITH WYN WILLIAMS,' with each letter inside an ovalesque gold sticker.
