I've had this for quite a while, has anyone seen one of these before?
Appears to be a rigging knife, maybe a Hardinge issued employee tool or a give away by the company. Or is it from a completely different "Hardinge" than I'm familiar with?
Thanks in advance for any info.

The pattern is called a horseman's knife. The two screw heads are the heads of two-part bolts like Chicago screws, for replacing the rivets in the horse's harness. The knife also has a hoof pick.
This would have a premium and expensive knife when new.It's hard for me to see it being used as an advertising give-away, especially since it is an English knife and Hardinge is an American company.

I think the key fobs were from the night watchman's keys.
Hardinge also made night watchman's clocks.
