Woops, so I'd like to redeem myself with my pen knife

This has been in service for a couple of years, but mostly sits in one of those desk tidies that your kids get you for Christmas when they are very young, but proudly lent it one of said kids today who was opening a parcel the way a dog opens cornflakes. The blade originated in a freebie box knife which exploded on its first outing.

That's not a penknife.... it's a shiv!

But I think you have indeed redeemed yourself.

One of the more random things I've purchased.
The top off a 24ft mobile climbing wall.
Was on a trailer that raised it via hydraulics.
A mate spotted it in a scrapyard.
Paid £100.
Turns out it unbolts into 3x 8ft sections, going to board the ends and use them for pig arks.
They're already painted in camouflage too which is a bonus.

Nice. Do the hand grips unbolt? Always fancied a few on the gable wall of the shed for some entertainment.
