I know this has gone out on a few lists, but I wanted to post it here too

Here's a Roman Pocket knife from 200-300 CE. How cool is this? Click on the picture to go to the Museum's page.

Those guys were pretty damned clever. Why did the Empire fall again? *lol* Gods I'd like to go back to Rome. *head desk* Why am I stuck in this backwater burg?!!??!!!

There's even a spoon and fork on the silly thing! I think we need some pocket knives like that today!

Pocket knives with forks and spoons have been made in modern times for the past several decades. They are often referred to as hobo knives and camping utensil tools.
