They may not be worth much now, Toby, but when I was a kid those were priceless. Summertime camp outs with surplus "c rations" ond my trusty hobo knife were the things great memories are made of.
Got several of the Ozark Trails knives stashed in the truck for times that we need utensels when were on the road. Pretty handy deals.

what I like about the Walmart "Ozark Trail" is the size of the fork and spoon. They are truly full sized implements. It is definitely a pocket full. The knife and spoon make up one side and the fork and can opener the other side. This means the you can't use the knife and spoon at the same time but I don't find that nearly as annoying as having all parts on one handle. You are more likely to use the fork and knife to cut your meat up. If the fork doesn't separate from the knife blade that becomes a major design flaw.

"The photos in the previous post are of an old German pruning type knife I just aquired. It surely is interesting, and quite old."
