I’m remiss in not posting this one here sooner. Another Rather & Co. knife that I acquired a few months ago, this one is a reverse gunstock whittler. Appears of European origin but no COO stamp, so probably pre-1890. Still haven’t determined what the covers are made of. No visible Haversian canals and doesn’t have typical celluloid characteristics.

A beauty, Ken, I really like that one.

Rather is a new one on me, next to no info out there on that name.
