Here is one that I have no knowledge of, other than what you see.
Riegel and Co. 3 1/2" It is well made and appears to have some age on it.

Re: Antique Knives Made In England
Nice one, Ike. It does appear to have some age on it.
An equal end and a whittler. Splendid bolster. Pretty cool.
Nothing about Riegel in Tweedale's Directory.
