Peter and Ken...

I have two of the Super Champs.  I just love this knife but a bit too big for the pocket.

Tobias, while we are on screws and drivers. Back in the day when I was a Refrigeration Tech. it would get our goat when we had to take apart a peice of equipment an it had, half a dozen different screw heads. Phillips, slotted, hex [in different sizes], and star bit,...ect...ect... We had to carry alot of tools.lol

Clint said: "At one time, screwdrivers were the #1 stabbing weapon used on police."  

One needs to asks "Slotted or Phillips"   As long as we're drifting.  Gunsmiths still refer to screwdrivers as "turnscrews"
 

In the old days, flintlocks were sold along with a turnscrew because without the matching turnscrew, you couldn't loosen the lock to replace the flint.

The Phillips screw and associated screw driver really didn't become popular until Cadillac adopted it for its manufacturing in 1936.   Before then the Robertson screw (suqare socket head screw) was more popular.  Thus  it is highly unlikely that you will  find a Phillips screw driver on a pre-1936 pocket knife

The slotted screw remains the most popular screw in the world followed by the Phillips.

LOL!  In reality there are very few icepicks in any evidence locker.  However, there are many kitchen knives and cheap pocket knives.  At one time, screwdrivers were the #1 stabbing weapon used on police.

This is an old corkscrew with an ice pick as requested Robert. It was made by Christopher Johnson of Sheffield circa 1900. This company was more reknowned for making pocket knives and cutlery.

Whoa...mine has never seen anything but ice. I bet you could hurt someone with it though. I'll post some pictures latter.+

 I think most ice picks are still being held in evidence somewhere.
