Re: RODGERS Norfolk Knife
Is that the same as The Year Knife, to which they added a new blade every year?

Re: RODGERS Norfolk Knife
No Charlie;this one was made for the Crystal Palace Exhibition.The so-called "year knife" has MANY more blades.If I recall correctly they stopped adding blades when the number reached 1,922. I have a pic of it somewhere in my computer(that is on it's wasy to Ohio).RobesonsRme.com wrote:Is that the same as The Year Knife, to which they added a new blade every year?

An interesting story about that knife:They employed a person to open each blade,wipe it down and oil it,and then close it.The process took almost two weeks to accomplish and then the started the process all over again!

Re: RODGERS Norfolk Knife
Was there a knife similar to this at the National Knife Museum at SMKW? Or I'm I "misremembering". Maybe it was just a picture of it?
