Many thanks!

Hi everyone - I have this lovely knife, the handle appears to be horn. The blade is quite loose when you take it out but when you fix it in place in line, it just places it very sturdily, great design. I can find no marks and wonder if it is handmade. Does anyone know anything about a knife like thi...

Hi - I have this nice old double bladed pocket knife. It has a maker's mark on each blade of three 2s in a shamrock/clover shape. Can anyone help me age it and identify the maker?

Thanks again!

Hi all - I have this unusual knife which has some age to it. It has a name on the blade, which looks a bit like Paul. Can anyone date or give me any info on this?

Hi all - I have this lovely knife - Chesterman's of Sheffield, I am planning to sell and wondered if anyone had any more information about it. It opens out into a 6 inch ruler and two pen knives with Coffers, Springs, Drawgear, Ventilators, Rail Fastening, Steel etc on one knife and Joseph Westby Sh...

Nice! thanks very much.

Hi everyone - I have this knife which I think is silver with a lovely decoration on each side and unmarked on the handle. One blade is stamped Miller Bros. Does anyone know about this brand or decoration and any idea of age?
Many thanks as always

Hi - hope everyone is well I recently got this lovely fruit knife - the hallmark appears to be Birmingham 1830 and it is stamped on the blade Stelling and 111 on the other side. It has a pick as well and has a lovely engraved date for 25 December 1883 and a monogram on the other side. It is a really...

Hi I zoomed in on it - I thought it was mid 1800s too...

Hi Ken that's an interesting idea. The vacant slot doesn't have anything in it as I thought it might be a propelling pencil thingy. Also the tube doesn't have a lot of depth so not sure it would be for a lead much as love that idea. It does have some minor movement to it though.

Hi everyone - I have this lovely knife and I think the exterior is bone. It has a little fixed tube at the bottom I think may be some kind of cigar piercer but looks like the filler point from a lighter and a nice blade stamped Smith. There is also a little slot in the front which I don't know had a...

Hi - you are right, the button hook is snapped at the end, thanks for your input.
And the brunette, long or otherwise is me.

Thank you everyone, you always are so helpful and knowledgeable and it is very much appreciated.
Best wishes

Hi thanks very much, I thought it was quite feminine in design and with a little loop too. The dating seems about right too - the steel is very nice quality and pretty heavy and strong - what do you think the spike item was for?
Many thanks

Hi - no markings at all - I have checked it thoroughly.

Hi everyone - I hope you are all well and keeping safe. I have this nice old knife and was wondering about its age and whether it had a specific name? It has a spike tool, a button hook, a corkscrew and three different sized knife blades. It is only under 2 inches long and I would welcome any info a...

Ah that makes sense - thanks very much.

Hi all - I wanted to ask about this knife. It has a blade as shown and then a long blunt ended bar which rotates out. Can anyone tell me what this is for?
Many thanks
