No. 34.-French Cook’s Knife, Fork, 
and Steal. —This is a long (10 in.) thin Knife, 
with Celluloid or Patent Ivory Handle, warranted not to 
crack in hot water, made of the best steel, and for use 
rather than ornament ; and it is really pleasing to see how 
easily it slips through a joint of beef. The fork and steel 
are made to match, and the fork is supplied with the 
very convenient patent rest. It would save many wry 
faces, and perhaps hard words, were it in general use.

culturist at $1.50 each, will secure the whole free. [We

No. 35.—Rflultum in Parvo Pocket 
Knife.—£®”Boys, Mead and the 
MetS too. The 
Editor thinks 
more of this 
than any other 
'article of twice 
its cost. He ob¬ 
tained one in 
London just 
twelve gears 
ago, which he 
still carries, and 
says it far more 
_than pays the 
interest on 
$ 100 , (2 cents a 
day,) for, aside 
from its ordi¬ 
nary use as a 
double - bladed 
knife, some 
one of its 
tools ” is often worth a quarter,” by being on 
hand and just the thing wanted in an emergency. He 
scut an order to. England at three different times, 
but only, received much larger, clumsier articles, less 
effective, and costing $5 
each, and finally learned 
that the original maker 
was dead. Ho then got 
some English cutlers 
here to make them, but 
they did not always suc-

ceed in keeping up a supply of first-class articles. We 
now get them all right of the Meriden Cutlery 
Company, and much cheaper than any imported. 
The Engraving shows the parts of the knife, except 
the very convenient and very effective Screw-driver 
hidden by the opened large blade. The Saw is double¬ 
toothed, and will cut an inch board, saw off a good-sized 
stick, cut a notch, etc. The Ilook is used to lift a stove- 
cover, pry open sundry tilings, clean a horse's hoof, pull 
on the boots, etc. The Punch makes holes in harness, 
wood, etc., which can be enlarged by its sharp corners. 
The Gimlet and Corkscrew are convenient, of course. The 
Tweezers and long Pointer, or Brad-awl , drawn from the 
end of the handle, often come into use. The back of the 
Hook makes a good Hammer for tacks, and small pound¬ 
ing. The inside of the Hook forms a small Nut-cracker. 
Alt close into a compact white handle, the whole weighing 
only 2 ounces. IT IS A POCKETFUL OF TOOLS.
