A mother of pearl and steel pocket knife fitted with 46 steel implements including knife blades, fleams, picks, saws, files, bradawls and corkscrews. The mother of pearl case is decorated with a trellis-pattern with three gilt rosettes and a label each side. The knife is suspended by rods in a glass dome, on a gilt metal stand with mirror top and sides, embossed with thistles, roses, shamrocks and a cartouche.
The knife combines some of the tools more typically found on a coachman's knife (including tools for leather stitching, picks for attending to horse's hooves and fleams for blood-letting) as well as the normal blades found on a gentleman's pocket knife.
