They are about 2 1/4" collapsed, 1/4" wide, and over 3" long as shown. Have "SWANK" stamped on them. Come in the leather case.

timetogoI see you have it fixed now. Swank was a watch manufacturer maybe back in the 80's I believe.

flashguyIt appears as if the lower piece is intended to slide over the upper one somehow--maybe to increase the length of the handle? The upper piece is shaped like a butter knife--does it have a honed edge? Maybe some type of scalpel?

Patrick-SP2022These were the complimentary bookmarks provided to subscribers of the highly regarded men’s magazine named “Swank”.
It was popular in the late 70s and 80s.

ArtieSAs noted, Swank was an accessories retailer. They had an outlet store somewhere near Attleboro, Massachusetts when I was a kid. I remember going there a few times for things like wallets, etc.
