Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Looks pretty neat to me Dimitri!! Does the blade come out a little further? I have a couple brass Eagle gravity type knives the blade slide out like that? I don’t ever remember posting them but I believe they are something like a quill knife? I’m like you, I like yours because it’s different

Thanks Bill, the blade comes out a little more but not much.
The blade is extended and retracted by turning the top part just like a lipstick container.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Nice example, but it appears to have cut horn and not pressed horn handles.
Here are two similar examples with cut horn on the left and pressed horn on the right.
You can see how much sharper the edges are on the cut horn handle as compared to the softer rounded edges of the pressed horn handle.
Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Miller Bros., two very nice examples in the gold twist knife and the horseman's model.
Those darn English knives are sure addictive!!!

Nice Dimitri, good ole maker, nothing not to like about it even with the broken blade. Can’t beat the stag
