All About Pocket Knives

Any idea on the age of this?

The snap will take your finger tip. I just love those bone slabs...

It's small but perfectly formed...

Would anyone know how old this is?

I'll be returning home for Christmas and I'll definitely be spending time at the library looking this up ...

It's definitely Norwich, Norfolk UK - I bought it there 30 years ago ...

I can not find anything on this English Cutler does anyone have anything, any information...?

3 3/4" ... just right I think

Thank you and yes edited because it is a stockman, I had a senior moment ...

The Lambsfoot blade is truly elegant, ...it just feels right. It's a shame it's not really used anymore ...

Also in the box ...

I opened up and old box and this was in it ...

Thank you Gerry I love nice big photos I can zoom in on - that tang stamp is indeed different I think I'll have a look around for any Eye Witness stamp dates ...

John, I like to think of it as practical collecting. I have about 300 pairs of cufflinks and I've worn them all.

Carry each and every one, love them for what they are ...

We all honor those people, we pass on the stories, we document their work, their lives, we make sure their legacy is passed on.

Keep collecting and share the stories and we'll sing their song forever ...

I was 7 years old, 43 years ago, when my uncle, Tio Joaquin, gave me my first pocket knife. It was a trapper style single blade in blue shiny scales with a strange lock release on the pivot bolster. (Omg that was a flashback) I carried that everywhere and when I turned 10 I was allowed pocket money ...

I've been looking at that bolster stamp and they are different ... So maybe not post Schrade ...?

Tony that's a beauty, thank you for the info ...

The handles seem to be some sort of delrin???

There appears to be a slight grain like pattern in each scale maybe a thermoplastic of some sorts IDK ...

That's what I'm hoping to find out, it's such a specific size and shape ...

...i'm thinking 1950/60s ...?

I think these are the pressed horn handles, one is stamped Eye Witness and the other stamp I cannot make out ...

The only stamp on it is "Sheffield made" - no other markings. I did find another on Etsy stamped John Milner - exact same knife only not as clean.

Any ideas???

Thank you Dale, It does have 865 stamped on the main blade. I have always used the double groove on the back of a nail file as you described. I always thought that to be their use. I too think this was a give away perhaps at a convention as these technicians were tested every year and this is a 4 ye...
