Long Description
The Lancrastian Army Knife is a compact assortment of tools sandwiched between two wooden sleeves. The tools can be extracted individually for use or closed away for compactness. The sleeves themselves have been painted in a cheerful red colour except for a small white cross at one end. This tool has been packed full of some things that a soldier would need in the field and many things they would not. It would seem that some of King Verence's suggestions managed to survive the design process despite Shawn's best efforts.
