WOW! what a line up

The Bradshaw is circa 1856-60, an importer of cutlery. The handles are horn with nickle silver trim. It is called a folding dirk.


Who is the maker of the folding bowie, far left on the bottom photo?

thanks for the info. i did a knife show in pasadena and that's where these knives came from. the knife you're asking about has no stamp that i can find, i'd like to post pics of it as well but i don't know what catagory to put it in.

I will almost guarantee it is an old English made knife, so please post pictures of it here in the European forum
