inches long, neat and compact, not lieavy and clnmsy- 
looking, as are so many combination knives. A strong 
&r«ta-ci?'ii;er always at hand in the end of the knife, is 
effective in turning a screw of any size up to an inch, or 
even more, while the broad back of the hook is a small 
Hammer. Ont of the end of the knife may be drawn a 
steel Pointer, nearly two inches long, which serves as a 
slim brad-awl, etc.; also a fine pair of Tweezers; from 
within the knife tliereo|)ens the following: a large .Bfacfc, 
and a small one ; a Saw wdth double row of teeth, strong 
cnougli to use on boards up to an inch thick; a good 
Gimlet ; a three-cornered pointed steel Punch, or Pirn- 
mer. always useful for making iioles in harness, wood, 
etc.; a Corkscrew ; a hook, which folding over the smaller 
tools makes a sort of 
Nut-cracker, with the 
hollowed-out handle, and 
can besides be used for a 
number of purposes, 
such as raising a stove- 
lid, lifting any hot vessel, pulling on boots, or taking 
gravel out of a horse’s hoofs. Tlie knife is worth much

for interest and wear, is less than tico cents a week.
