A couple of old kitchen knives I picked up recently.
Top one is Landers Frary and Clark with their old fixed blade stamp. Ebony handles, small brass pins.
I can't find a thing about the other Sheffield stamp. Through tang horn handle. Thanks.

Do you know anything about John Wigfall?

Dimitri,
thank you for that information.
Well, that knife must be at least 100 years old. It wasn't cheap. It is as sound as the day it was made.
I love the old stuff; High quality and easy to look at.
I have another one quite similar with horn handles. These will go to my kids.
