Each knife features a slender, elongated silhouette, with a design typical of 1970s multi-tool models. The visible handles have marbled finishes in shades of grey, silver, and slightly verdigris, giving the set a patinated appearance characteristic of antique objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three knives show differences in the shade and texture of their handles: the first has a matte silver-grey finish, the second has a marbled surface combining grey and green, while the third is distinguished by pronounced dark grey veining. The surface of the handles reveals several fixing rivets, typical of traditional manufacturing, as well as some marks of oxidation or natural patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rounded contours and compact shape suggest a pocket knife for everyday carrying.
