Joseph Rodger’s Finest aka silver & gold

Post by Another Knife Collector »

Hello all, I’ve been going through my collection considering parting with some old favorites, I got these out and got to wondering if anyone here has any of the same type. I’ve never seen any like these other than these ones I bought and some prints in Levine’s guide. The common factors are engraved bolsters of silver (apparently sterling, not nickel-silver) or gold and a lining of the same material covering the back spring. They also feature fine firework, some on blades and some on inside of back springs. Really neat knives that I’d love to see more like. The ones I have are either pearl or genuine tortoiseshell.

Here's one that sold awhile back in a Voyles auction.

Not my knife.

Stunning for sure! Thanks for sharing.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
