Nice pre 1890 Taylors Eye stag knife

Post by GerryD »

Hi
This is the second antique centre find.
No problems here just a nice knife in used condition . Its eight and a half inches open and blade is three and three quarter inches long. The second blade is two and three quarters of an inch in length. The springs are really good and it snaps open and shut. The scales are stag that has taken on that lovely sheen from use, beautiful.
All in all a really nice large Taylors knife

Nice find Gerry! Looks like it saw some good use and pocket time. Bet it could tell a lot of stories!

Calling that a "nice find" is an understatement! There is nothing else quite like an old, well-made, well-cared-for, used knife!
One like that has been relied upon by generations of men. It is a beauty!
