Joseph Rodgers Stud Knife

Post by Shearer »

I came across this knife while in Western Australia.(3500 km from home )
It's a Joseph Rodgers Sheffield England Stud Knife.It looks the same as a Bunny knife but with a spey blade instead of a pen blade.
The handles are made of a plastic and is prone to pin cracking.

Very interesting, funny the plastic on the tools didn't fade out like the handles did

I have seen a Parker knife marked "Stud" but never before on a British knife. Delrin handles ? if so newer than 1960. Could also be an earlier plastic but it is a post WW II knife.

I think they just made them a different color.
It took me a while searching to find a knife with the same handles.

As a collector of Bunny knives, British & German, i think this Stud knife is an incredible find. I have never before seen one so i think it is a rare knife.

I don't think so Roland, they are out there. I do believe I have one of these but the handles are smooth black comp. I have not seen it in years, maybe someday I will find it again if I do I will post pictures of it. ::nod::

Maybe it’s calked a stud knife because of the spey? A bit of dark humor! Lol
