Sheffield Mult-tool

smiling-knife · Post by **smiling-knife** » Mon May 14, 2007 12:50 pm

This Victorian era multi-tool made by Harrison Bros and Howson. It was one of a small number of companies that had a royal warrant. This one is stamped Cutlers to Her Majesty and was made in the latter part of Queen Victoria's reign (1837-1901) so likely 1880-1900. Has elephant ivory scales and toothpick and tweezers slot into the scales ala SAK. One blade appears to have some writing. Perhaps it was saleman's or shop sample at one time. Still tight and snappy.

Very nice S-K!

Some of these knives you keep coming up with make me want to take a trip to the UK just to look for knives!

That ivory shows some very cool grain, and the knife has lots of character S-K. Very nice find!

Humm...........

I need to go to the UK to go knife shopping with S-K. I need to stop in and go flea marketing with MM. I should also stop in NY and see LT.
All I need is about $10,000. $2500 - $3000 for travel expenses and $7000 to spend on knives!

Sounds about right to me!
