Historically, such multi-functional items were common in the late 19th century, but this example stands out due to its substantial size. It features two percussion-fired 12mm smoothbore barrels, a roughly 5.25-inch folding knife blade, and a pair of corkscrew-style folding triggers that deploy when the hammers are cocked. The design intentionally mimics an old-fashioned antler-paneled pocket knife, but with a prominent pistol grip at one end.
