John Petty and Son English Penknife/Pocketknife

[Steedy999]

Any idea about this John Petty and Son knife from Sheffield England

Date of manufacture? Late 1800s?

Type of knife? Pocket knife

Is a tiny piece at end of the tip missing?

Value?

Thanks for any input. Much appreciated

I'm guessing it's a pruning / hawkbill jack knife, if it is it got quite a bit of blade loss and yes the tip seems to be broken off, someone with more knowledge than I will come along with better info.

John Petty 1858-197? Can't say on your date. Looks older but its hard to say with Brits. Nice one. J.O'.

I'm thinking it may ground down and was probably originally a "half-hawk" pruner like this one .Notice both kicks are flat-bottomed like many British
