Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Miller Bros., that's a great old Samuel Wragg with a cyphered blade.
Here is an older Wostenholm pruner with a massive blade.

Mason, massive blade is an apt description. Great condition For such an old knife.
Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Wow Mason, that has to be the best one of those large pruners I've seen.
Been looking for a nice stag Sheffield curved blade rope knife for some time and managed to land this beauty last week. Made by Hunter, who I can find no information on other than one reference that states maybe mid 1800's. Other interesting stamps are the British Admiralty broad arrow and what looks like the number 104, these have been overstamped by broad arrows facing each other, my research says this designates that the knife was sold out of service or surplus. Common on old British firearms but not so much on knives.
Typical of Sheffield knives of this era it has knock out stag.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Vintage Sheffield knives in such fine condition are not easy to find. Dimitri you have so many fine knives.
