The Scrimshaw knife is an up-market take on the utility knife. But this one does not have the hideous (or boring, depending on which one you get) exterior so often associated with instruments such as these.
The Scrimshaw knife's handle is made out of ivory, and is hand-etched in Maine. Inked with black india ink and finished with two coats of archival wax, the Scrimshaw knife should last you a long time--or at least long enough to lose it.
