Description
Welcome to The Sheffield Cutlery Shop’s latest collection of Antique Pen/Pocket Knives!
This George Unite penknife features perfect luminous Mother of Pearl scales and a beautifully polished Silver blade, hallmarked with the Lion Passant, Anchor and date letter J for 1858. 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 backwork and carving on the knife are truly astonishing.
When fully open, the knife measures 12 cm. When closed, the knife measures 6.5 cm. The Pocket Knife weights 14 grammes.
