This is one of my latest finds but I was unable to trace the maker either in my reference books or the internet initially as the H looked like am M.
The company seemed to operate between 1850 and 1890.
It is stamped Horridge Sheffield and nothing else. Its about 4" long when closed and about 7" with either the saw or remaining blade open. All tools are there except the tooth or what-ever pick and the small blade is broken and that's a pity but hay ho its been around awile .

Beautiful knife. Could be made by Henry Horridge "Manufacture of Pen, Pocket and Sporting Knives". Henry died in 1890 and the company continued for a few year but was not listed after 1898.
