Those old dog groomer knives have an appeal for their age and novelty and for their usefulness. You always have wonderful knives.

, Needham Brothers pearl. Never before had I seen this configuration. The “bails” are solid with the blades and can be used to open the knife or traditional nail nicks to open.
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

Thanks. It’s a pretty nice knife. Has good opening and closing snap too. And no cracks in the pearl.

Great knives David.

You don't see a lot of jigged bone Wostenholms Dimitri. Most of the dog groomers have that distinctive English , almost checkered style bone.

Cool knife kj .

I like Sheffield stuff guys.
