All About Pocket Knives

Hey all,

i have been browsing this forum for quite a while but this is my first post.

Well my name is Andy, i am just 24 years old and i have been collecting knives since i was 19/20 (i have just realised that this is only 4 years! It feels like i have been collecting forever! )

Anyway, i live just outside Sheffield in England but i consider it to be my home. I think Sheffield has been and continues to be a very interesting city.

Some of you may be wondering what my username means, well Rodgerslad refers to my deep interest in Joseph Rodgers & Sons of Sheffield and this is what my collection focuses on. My uncle and aunt used to work for the company from around 1935 to 1960. It is a company that completely fascinates me and i want to take this opportunity to offer my knowledge of this company to anyone here. I will always be pleased to give any information i know.

Take care,

Andy

Hi Andy.

I'm pretty new here myself. Good bunch of folks here.

I bought a Rodger's "Regimental" the other day for my father in law. Any idea when those were made?


I'm a fan of Sheffield's steel myself.

Thanks,
Willie

Thanks for welcoming me you guys.

Willie, that knife is quite modern, i think it could still be in production now but its been made for a while so it could still be ten years old or so. Good quality knife.

Hello Andy and welcome aboard!

Thanks Andy,

I figured it was pretty recent. It is a nice little lock back.
