Alfred Wililams Horsemans/Coachman Sheffield England Knife

Post by raincrowe »

Alfred Williams Sheffield England....A seven bladed knife marked on three blades...I've heard this knife called a coachman or horseman's knife....beautiful handles and shield...one of the blades has been reworked and very short...the handle with the shield is missing a small piece the other one has a crack...No doubt it's seen a lot of use however it appears to be original and a very fine example of Sheffield craftmanship...the long hooked blade was used to clean horse hooves!!…. I would like share this and welcome any input

It's a nice knife. England on the stamp dates it 1891 or after and these were pretty much out production by WWI. So, made circa 1900 give or take a decade.
