Looks handy.

Goes to show that the requirements and desire for compact but effective utensils haven't changed much in 1800 years.

I'm guessing here but I suspect that you had to be fairly rich to afford such a fancy bit of kit back in 200AD. Pulling that out in an encampment in the day people would stand up and take notice. Lots of uber traveler camp cred. A real status symbol. It might be like pulling out something like a light saber today.

Thanks for posting this.
