Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Thank you Barry, so a leather punch and a building society that provides mortgages, insurance, etc,
It seems too fancy a knife to have been a hand out to customers ? A special factory order for founding members ? As The Melton society still exists i will try to email them and ask about this knife.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
An observation i have made is that old ivory handled knives and especially the multi-blades are almost always heavily used and often abused.
An unused or lightly used example seems more rare with ivory handles than old knives with other material for handles (stag, bone, hard wood).
Have others here also observed this ?
I cannot think of any reason why ivory handled knives would have been more heavily used than knives with other handles. Any thoughts about this ?

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Thanks all for the nice comments on the Long folding guard model.
Here is another unique knife which is a fixed blade type with a folding blade and corkscrew in the back side of the handle. This sheathed model was produced around 1900 by Thomas Turner, and the fixed blade is replaceable as the accompanying advertisement from 1907 shows. A very well made knife with checkered horn handles.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
That’s a really interesting knife Mason and excellent condition! One of my favorites though is the IXL ivory you posted back on page 11, such good condition
Bill
Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Thanks, BWT. Here is another ivory handled Wostenholm that dates well beyond the century mark.
Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Interesting and unique fixed blade, Mason. And as Bill said excellent condition, as it would seem are all of your knives
Beautiful ivory IXL.

Nice selection of ivory handle knives Rolandkootenay joe wrote: ↑Wed Mar 31, 2021 1:04 am And here is another 'oldie': 3 3/8" Horsemans knife marked "Repeat/Needham/Brothers/Celebrated". This one is in reasonably good condition with pick & tweezers still present and no pieces missing from the ivory handles.
This marking with "Celebrated" and no "Sheffield" is not in Goins or LG4. Could be one of Needham's older markings circa 1860 ? or not ?

Mason is that Wostenholm font particular to the dating you stated? Love the knife.
Love the length and stag Barry, and regretting not buying that funky Wilbert.
Roland, you have some excellent pieces.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Mason, This knife is an amazing example, Etched blade, stamped bolster, Beautiful ivory & uncommon Gunstock handle. Not to mention the incredible condition.
The only negative is.....that it's not part of my collection. Thanks for showing.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Four great knives, Mike. The Joseph Rodgers 6 blade, with the box, and the checkered pearl congress are exceptional knives.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Dimitri, your "run of the mill", with the blade etch, is a beauty. It would be the star attraction of my small Sheffield collection.
