Description

A metal silver pocket knife branded to Tri-City Drilling (1968) Ltd and made by Birks. The pocket knife comes in a blue cardboard box. The lid of the box features a small dark blue embossment of the Birks logo; at the top is a small illustrated dragon with text underneath, "BIRKS" and two 'B's mirrored with a dot in the middle. The base of the box holds tissue paper with a small, round sticker that features a white base with a silver border and the same Birks logo as the one on the box lid. The pocket knife is small, and the handle is a rounded-rectangular shape. The handle contains five fold-outs: large blade, small blade, serrated blade, nail file, and scissors. The fold-out with the larger blade displays text inscribed in the base, "VICTORINOX SWITZERLAND STAINLESS ROSTFREI". The front of the handle features a small Tri-City logo; a double, black outlined oval with orange text reading, "Tri-City" with the tail of the "y" creating a slanted rectangle displaying black text, "DRILLING 1968 LTD." Below is black text, "EDMONTON". The back of the handle has etched text in a sans-serif font, "SAFETY AWARD", and cursive font underneath, "Rick Vanee". The pocket knife comes with a brown faux leather pouch. The pouch is a rounded rectangle shape, with brown stitching, leaving one of the short edges open.
