As my dear old Mom would say "That's cuter than a bug's ear!". That's real nice work.

Reminds me of one my father had, he used to work in the steel industry making crucible steel during the second world war, and special steels for the cutlery / munitions industry.

He used to have a miniature folding penknife with nacre (mother of pearl) side plates.

When it was open, it would fit on a farthing (1/4 of one old english penny,which was approximately 1/2" diameter) inside the perimeter. It had a small steel loop on it and he used to keep it inside a wallet on a ladies hairgrip (bobby pin ?) through the loop so it wouldn't get lost, he also had a miniature pair of scissors about the same size.

Despite extensive searches after he died, unfortunately it/they were never found, still, great memories.
