Here's one I really like even though I have no idea what the purpose of this shape and design is.
It’s a Case Swayback Jack.

My understanding is that it’s designed as a whittler, with the handle shape optimized for a forward, edge-in grip.

Opinel 7 and Radio Shack EC-4008,

Had to scale up a 3D print, and decided I'd just grab my pocket calculator. It's from the early '90s, and was a cheap Goodwill pickup ($2). It requires a bit more skill to use, as extremely small and large numbers are expressed as a power of ten due to the more basic display.   It's less of a headache than my modern Casio "mini" calculator" which is solar only and works only in perfect sunlight.  The Radio Shack runs on only 2X LR44s.

It's from 1992-ish, and was apparently sourced from Toshiba.  I have no idea why, but I've recently gotten into vintage calculators.

Pretty sure the Opinel is of roughly '90s vintage as well. Got it secondhand a few years ago, and found it perfect as the 6 is slightly too small, and the 9 huge.
