Civil War–Era Two-Blade Pocket Knife

 

Pocket knife featuring two folding blades housed in a bone handle secured with brass pins. One blade is clearly stamped “JOHN L. RIDDELL”, identifying the maker and confirming American manufacture.

 

Pocket knives such as this were essential personal items carried by soldiers and civilians alike during the Civil War, used for everything from eating and camp chores to basic repairs. Compact and durable, they were among the most common—and most personal—tools of the period.
