Description
Welcome to The Sheffield Cutlery Shop’s latest collection of Antique Pen/Pocket Knives!
This Sheffield, England penknife features perfect luminous Mother of Pearl scales and a beautifully polished Stainless Steel blade – circa 1940. 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 delicate patterning on the bolster and the skilful backwork to this piece is simply astonishing!
The springs are remarkable.
When fully open, the knife measures 15 cm. When closed, the knife measures 8.5 cm. The Pocket Knife weights 40 grammes.
This timeless penknife would surely grace anyone’s collection. Please see our ‘Pen Knives’ categories for more.
