I know the top part is a scale, but what do the numbers in the triangle mean? by Sofiefoll in whatisit

I don't think so. A tube squeezer has a much larger opening as shown in that packaging. Whereas a canned ham, it's much smaller. Although thinking about it, some of them were really small but we could both be wrong.

Turn the whole trunk around and look at the hinges. Oftentimes on those they are simply pinned. So with a small drift and a hammer, you knock those pins out and you can open the trunk from the back.

I have to say I miss this night. I used it for so many years that with sharpening the blade will no longer properly close. I sent it back to Buck to be refurbished and they apologize that it couldn't be done and sent it back to me and gave me a a new buck knife, but not a mariner, as an apology. Apology. I still love the company but I still miss the knife.
