Fire-steel (length 3 7/8 ins), combined with a knife-blade, strap-borer, and pipe-stopper; edges elaborately cut; blade stamped with maker's name (illegible). [NB: one of thirty-three specimens (nos. 424-456), all Spanish, but combined with some other article or articles of frequent personal use (generally with ember-tongs, but often with knife-blade, cork-screw, pipe-prick, screw-driver, hammer, or other). Many possess considerable artistic merit]
