Welcome to the site bzt ::nod:: . IMO the knife was made in Sheffield circa 1880-1910. Handle material is likely nickel. Short curved blade behind the button hook is a wire cutter for champagne bottles. Could be from any one of a number of makers as this was a fairly common pattern. I hope this is of interest. :D s-k
