ABSTRACT:
An operational tools carrier, such as a pocketknife or a tool card, having a portion formed from a transparent or translucent material has been found to have various functional benefits in addition to the clear ornamental effects of transparency/translucenary. A pocketknife typically has a retaining body or frame in which tools can be stored. The frame has two side walls that lie opposite each other and that have been separated from each other by means of narrow side faces and front faces. A scale is provided on at least one of the side walls typically has retaining areas for removably holding operational tools, e.g., tools, knives, scissors. The side wall or scale forming the side wall is transparent in at least one partial area. A flat tool card formed from two plates coupled together to form a retaining are therebetween for strong flat tools thereon. At least a portion of at least one of the plates forming the tool card is transparent or translucent.
