I recently purchased a Christmas present for myself in the form of a pre-1900's stag handle folding hawkbill knife.The manufacturers mark is Rival Cuttlery Co. Prime.The blade one has an old skeleton key embossed on it.
I will scan a photo when I get in Sunday.I was just wondering if anyone could tell me about it's possible origin.
Thank you for you time and knowledge friends.
Merry Christmas - Jeremy

Re: Rival Cuttlery Co.
Welcome!
Not much info on this company in Goins book, other than it was made in Germany.
Can`t wait to see a picture of it

Re: Rival Cuttlery Co.
Jeremy!Can you see the manufacture you listed on the knife blade or were you told that's what it is? The reason I ask is that I have a Geo. Butler & Co. knife that has a skeleton key engraved on the blade. The tang reads: Sheffield
ART (in an oval)
England
On the blade it has Geo. Butler & Co. with the key engraved. This knife is a stag hawkbill too. If it looks like yours when you post pics, I'll try to get some clear pics of this one.
