No scissors and a fair bit older: https://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/collections/greeceandrome/70534. Maybe Victorinox should make a limited edition replica and call it the Epicurean.

The ironic thing being that knife was a rich mans eating tool, yet the modern day version is known as the hobo knife 😮
