John Rodgers & Sons Sheffield England "Regimental"

Post by Dickens »

A friend of mine sent this picture to me and asked if I knew anything about this knife or its value, and I don't. Any help you can provide as to age & value would be appreciated.

Certainly inspired by the Swiss army knife and taking advantage of its popularity, I would't go so far as to call it a knock off. It still proudly wears the Joseph Rodgers trademark on the handle, isn't red, and has a different blade selection than the traditional Victorinox. I'm guessing circa 1980s. Though not a standard issue, with Rodgers as a manufacturer, a name like the Regimental, and an altered design I'd call it a British Army knife. ::tu::

I had one similar to that about thirty years ago;not sure what happened to it.May have traded it off.The one I had wasn't of good quality as the old Rodgers knives were.If I had to guess I would say it was late 70's or early 80's.
