Re: Wostenholm corkscrew knife info
I'm not an expert on Wostenholm brand info. I checked a few of my Wostenholm catalogs from the early 1900's and I didn't see this pattern shown. Can you say, are the handles aluminum? Also, I know if the back side of the blades say "Cutlers to HER majesty" or "Cutlers to HIS majesty" can help you narrow down an approximate age range.

Re: Wostenholm corkscrew knife info
Thanks Rookie.
The reverse of the blades is simply marked Sheffield, England. I would say the main body is aluminum. I did find a picture of a knife with a similar pattern, though no further info and it had a different selection of tools. I'm guessing 1940's 50's.
cheers.
