Had this since I was a little kid, know nothing about it. The word "INOX" on one side of the blade. Appears well made for what it is. Any ideas?

Very cool little knife. Don't ever get rid of it. I have a small Case Canoe that I found in an auction lot years ago. Brand new with red bone scales on it. Never used or sharpened. I kept it in a safe place knowing that someday it will make a great gift first knife for someone special so I made a little belt sheath for it and it's going to my 2 year old daughter when she gets a bit older.

Here's another I've had seemingly forever. Says ELECTRO-MEDICAL ENGINEERING CO. on the side. Scissors, blade, nail file.

"Inox" is a shortened french word for stainless steel.

I have something similar that that I’ve had since I was a kid, too. Mine has wood scales, though.

Promotional/advertisement knives. I have a couple similar. Inexpensive construction but better than no knife at all. Kept one in my desk draw for those occasions when someone asked to borrow my knife.

Interesting it has the Swiss Flag stamped on it. I'd go over it with a magnifying glass and see if there are no other stamps on it including inside the bolsters where the blade and scissors are housed.

My best example of this style is a work anniversary gift, 12K gold plated. Marked "OTC 12K GF" on the bolster and "Stainless Steel Japan" on the blade.
