Re: Antique Knives Made In England
I got real lucky today, found another pruning knife with a folding saw
The blade is worn but it was not much shorter than that when it was new, see photo looking straight down.
No cracks in the handles the stag is beautiful only the way an English cutler could fit it back in the day, integral bolsters/liners.

What a knife ! Dimitri somehow you keep coming up with GREAT vintage Sheffield knives. Even just one like these would be my best find in years.
Thank you for showing us what can be found 'out there'.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Thanks for the compliment Roland!
I don't chase knives much anymore so it is a real treat to find a nice old knife like this in my travels. I also found a Rodgers quill knife about 20 miles away from where I found this knife, two antique Rodgers knives in one day!! Certainly reinvigorates me to know they can still be found around here and not have to buy on feebay

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
I suppose I should be too embarassed
to stick this lowly Corn Knife in amongst all this Stag, but someone has to love and preserve them, and this Jordan meets the criteria.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
The "A. Jordan/Sheffield" knives are all top notch. Nothing "lowly" about your corn knife and it is in fine condition with etch clearly visible.

Very cool Ike. 

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Ike the only thing that I don’t like about your knife is it’s at your house instead of mine LOL That’s a nice knife and for me a maker that I’ve never seen in person. Thanks for sharing

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Haha! Thanks, Bill. Attending shows around St Louis, I see Jordans on occasion, but this was a first for this pattern. Thanks for commenting.

W & S Horrabin 3 1/8", (1844-1867) Goins
Phoenix logo was commonly used by them, not sure about the U S. I am guessing the scales to be a type of Ironwood?

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Here is another English made rope knife, blade has some bites out of it but the stag handles make up for that!

Great knife, Dimitri, the "bites" don't bother me a bit. I love old rope knives and that one is a classic!Miller Bro's wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 9:41 pm Here is another English made rope knife, blade has some bites out of it but the stag handles make up for that!![]()
