A stag, a blue smooth bone and a rams horn. He is gonna hold the other 3 for me, wood, honey bone and youth with black bone. These guys came to sell and trade and were doing brisk business.

One can only hope a few Customs agent's filthy phalanges were truncated during the inspection of this folding British broadsword as karmic retribution for all the knives they've confiscated previously. Might cause them to think twice before meddling with your packages in the future.

EDIT: - It seems I should have read the listing for this knife somewhat better than I did, because upon further research it turns out that the knife is a REPRODUCTION of that STYLE knife, but not the original knife. Due to the excellent condition it's in I was a little suspicious of a couple things, particularly the clean fresh looking stamps along with it's new looking blade... The knife is still everything I posted it was, it's simply not an original. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

M&M, ... I was curious how the markings/tang stamp looked so clean... as I like tang stamps, I spent some time looking over your pictures ... I had a little suspicion that everything was just too clean.... But I am no expert so I kept my thoughts to myself...

That being said it is a He!! of a big 'ol knife!

This is a pristine Joseph Rodgers & Sons/No. 6 Norfolk St. Sheffield England/"To Strike Fire"/Barlow slip-joint that measure 11 1/4" open with a 6" handle and 5 1/4" 5mm spear-point blade with a N/N. My measurements exclude the 1" bail.

It has SS fluted bolsters, SS 1/16" liners and SS 5mm spring, along with cross-cut horn covers.

I need a winch to pry it open and should any of my digits be in the line of fire I will surely lose them as it passes the half-stop on the way to it's extremely hard and loud closing.

I have Cold Steel folding weapons that are physically bigger, but when I'm holding this knife it somehow seems even bigger then those!

From the deep-end of the Bay!

For it to be as old as I originally thought, it would have had to spend it's entire life in someone's sock drawer and perhaps it did, but for that to happen just strikes me as odd. The seller has many legitimate and expensive daggers and armour listed, but they also have a few of these reproduction pieces. The knife is still everything I posted it was, it's simply not an original. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

This one tipped the scales and it showed up in my mailbox yesterday. I'm very pleased with the price and the knife.
