Very cool. Superior Steel Blade, English? Usually one side pulls 12 gauge, the other 16 gauge.

Yes I think I have seen these were made in Sheffield.
Cool flip-release lock mechanism.

Here we go...
These knives were made in India. Nothing like this was made in Sheffield.
Very crude construction. This one appears to have the brass bolsters nickel plated. They are post-WW2.

The wording on the blade and lack of gauge stamps on the pullers is a characteristic of these knives made in India. I would guess that the pullers are the same size. Given all this they are old and can actually function quite well in spite of their cruder construction. I think they tell a cool story out of the pages of cutlery history. Cool knife.

Nickel plated brass bolsters . . . I learned something new today.

Upon first viewing, India came to mind, then as I read-on it was confirmed, I think I'm getting better at this!
Nice HOK in great shape, whoever made it!
Super find, NYW, ya done good!

[Pile Driver]

some of the best cutlery in history came from Sheffield

[No youre wrong]

Seems really high quality and super old. When were Sheffield’s made?

This has steel liners and pins and steel bolsters. The flip release tab is brass

[Bill DeShivs]

It's not high quality, nor is it super old, nor was it made in Sheffield.

[Pile Driver]

Sheffield knives were made long ago so its probably old

[No youre wrong]

I like it. Feels really cool in the hand. Really strong spring, and real horn handles.

It’s got to be neatly 100 years old. Is that considered antique?

[1967redrider]

I'm used to seeing a "12" and "16" on the shell puller bolsters, which look kind of malfitted when I expand the picture. Would you happen to have pictures of the spring and blade well with the blades open? Thanks!

Since the knife was made in India post WWII, as Bill said, it would have been made after 1945 making the knife 78 years old at most. I think it's a pretty cool old knife but it is not Sheffield made or Sheffield quality.

This one doesn’t say Sheffield or India. 78 is older than most people. I’ll stick with the super old comment. Hobby is suppose to be fun right

[1OldTreeClimber]

I like it.

[jw517]

If Bill says it’s India it’s INDIA !
I have to like horn though. I have a fever,and the only cure is MORE HORN!

It's not hard to figure out how you got your handle, dude, let it go!
You've been given the truth about your knife, which BTW you originally ask for, but you don't seem to want to accept it.
Of course our hobby is suppose to be fun, but not at the expense of posting incorrect information, that's how this forum has remained relatively "knife pure", cuz we state the facts and reject the incorrect.
Your knife is what it is, and isn't what it isn't, as long as you know and accept that you'll have a great time here, fun too!
If you're one of those dudes that just likes to argue, never mind! lol!

Yes thanks MadMarc. I didn’t ask for info on it. I only posted it say it was a well made super old knife. Which it is IMHO. YMMV.

Have a great day!

Here is a Sheffield made one:

This one looks completely different than mine

In the description it clearly states "created in Pakistan".

Although I no nothing about this type of automatic knife, I don't think anything this crudely made came out of Sheffield.
