A lot of skill & time went into making this 'knife-clock' ! But the knife blades & tools cannot be used.
This is a 2 yr old quote from Mason: "Both have actually sold on various auctions a few times over the past twenty five years."
I would like to know if over these 25 years, did the prices increase or decrease ?

I came across this little gem while doing an image search for an unrelated cutlery item.

I alerted Dimitri (Miller Bros) to it and he said it needed to be posted here.

It's less than one inch long when closed.

This is the URL for the website where this Joseph Rodgers and Sons, circa 1850, miniature exhibition knife is listed for sale.

They list other very interesting miniature replicas, etc:
