Does anyone know anything about this knife?

I bought this knife at a knife store in Wall Drug. The blade screws onto the handle for use and screws into the handle for storage. If I remember right it only cost around $12 but it is a very sturdy knife. With the blade screwed into the handle, I believe you could run over it with a Mack truck and not damage it. The guy at the knife store told me that rock climbers use it clipped on a caribiner. I realize of course that he could just have been saying that. I bought the knife because it was unusual and caught my eye.

It appears to be a small key chain kubaton with the bonus of a double edged knife inside. It looks cool - I would have bought one, too.

Charles, I don't know exactly who made this but I would guess it falls into the category of outdoor or camping supplies and could well be something that can clip to a belt. I know Marbles made several screw on type containers for things like matches or led lights.

Looks to be a small "Night Watchman", by United.

I would've bought one too. Nice score. I am going to Big 5, to see if they have them.

Brad, a knife in that same configuration--double edged--would be illegal to carry in California. Let me know what you find at Big 5. If they carry a single edged version of this I would buy one also. Sometimes good things really do come in small packages!

JJ, thank you multiple times. You just identified my knife for me. It is a United Cutlery Mini Night Watchman. It is the first one you listed at Amazon.com. The other four are Baby Night Watchman by United Cutlery.

I just checked United Cutlery's web site. They don't list either the Mini or Baby Night Watchman any more.
