English Made Knives
Lets see some of those old English made knives, show'em if you got'em. The new and current made knives of today are nice but those old knives of yesteryear with history behind them really trips my trigger.

Re: English Made Knives
Aimus, looking through mine, I could only find three English knives - a Lockwood Brothers hawkbill, a shell-handled Richards and a Currey rigger. As opposed to dozens of German made ones. With all the knives made in Sheffield, I wonder if most of them went out to the Empire instead of coming to America. Germany lived on export just like England but didn't have an empire.

Re: English Made Knives
I found this George Wostenholm I*XL 3" Dogleg Jackknife today; it is in pretty good shape to be over 40 years old - dosen't look like anyone ever used it. Cannot tell what the handles are made of, but the shield is embedded pretty good, steel is sharp and it has strong opening and closing snap (broke my thumbnail opening it).
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
