Just read this on another site

Let me take you back to a simpler time: New York in the 1950s:
Men wore tailored suits with creases in their pants so sharp they could almost cut you, snap brim fedoras, wing-tip shoes with spit-polish shines that were blinding. They “shot their cuffs” through their jacket sleeves and showed off their fancy cuff links. People took pride in their appearance and their work. The post-World War II generation was building skyscrapers that touched the sky. GI Loans paid for houses in the suburbs and sent people to college. Television was the new medium and industry was booming. The world was changing and growing fast. It was a time of optimism, where the belief was that you could do anything you could set your mind to. It was a time of quality and effort. “Pride in your work” and “Build to Last” was the goal of everybody who worked at a desk or picked up a pen, a shovel, a jackhammer, or fine precision tools. It was a time of craftsmanship.

It was not only New York, but every big city was coming of age in the 1950s. Along with his fountain pen, cigarette lighter, and handkerchief, the well dressed man carried a pen knife, which was also known as a “Gentleman Knife.”

They had some sweet stuff too

Does anyone here have old copies of the "Automatic Knife Resource Guide & Newsletter" published by Sheldon Levy in San Francisco, CA from about 1995 to 2006. If so, I am looking for a few back issues.

Bob and Ron....

Yes I have many stories about my two year + time in Kosovo.  The guards let them make the knives, then the prisoners trade them for cigarettes and the guards sell the knives.  I had three others I brought back for gifts to a few cop buddies of mine.  No two were alike but the one I kept was the coolest.
