Description
Welcome to The Sheffield Cutlery Shop’s latest collection of Antique Pen/Pocket Knives!
This James Fenton penknife features luminous Mother of Pearl scales and a beautifully polished Silver blade, hallmarked with the Crown, Lion Passant and date letter Y for 1891. The age of this knife is shown in the presence of a Shield Inlay – created by a difficult manufacturing process using a tool called a parser. This is a skill that unfortunately has not stood the test of time.
The springs are in fantastic condition.
The pearl handle is cracked above the shield inlay, which is reflected in the price. However, this does not affect its performance.
When fully open, the knife measures 13 cm. When closed, the knife measures 7.5 cm. The Pocket Knife weighs 18 grammes.
This timeless penknife would surely grace anyone’s collection. Please see our ‘Pen Knives’ categories for more.
