Think this is what my Dad had ???

[JonTerry]

Hi Guys,

I have stumbled accross this online and it seems to have a fair price. It looks just like the knife my Dad carried when I was a boy, I do recall his was Sheffield Made ( like most of the knives from my Childhood )

This one has "Sheffield made" on the Tang and "BRIT.PAT.416767" on the back of the Tang.

Basically Can anyone tell me about this knife or Identify the maker ?

I think I might buy it for his Christmas Present, but any knowledge to go with would be just as valuble.

Cheers guys

I have basically no knowledge regarding European knives, but that looks like a nice one.

You'd think I would being a British Born guy.........Maybe the PAT is short for patina ??

I would guess that's a British Patent number, which you can probably look up somehow.

Nice looking knife - it appears to have been made with "shell" handle construction. That would point to Richards as the manufacturer.

Found this via Search here on AAPK https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... 99s#p19820. There’s more but I didn’t read through them. “Richard” being a common name there’s a lot of unrelated posts found by the search.

If you want to dig through them, the keyword “Search” function is accessed by clicking on Quicklinks on the upper left.
