All About Pocket Knives

Just picked up this pearl Joseph Fenton & Sons coffin lobster direct from Sheffield. Appears to be unused, and was likely made in the 1920s or 30s. Closed length is 3 1/8”. Any other Fentons out there??

What a beautifully crafted knife!

Thanks for the comment Wayne! I can’t get enough of Sheffield pearls!!

High tens on this one. What a truly elegant knife!

That's a stunner of a knife in a great unique lobster pattern ...

Since you were asking - Here's a Thomas Fenton Boys knife and box - not Joseph but he was one of the sons who made knives in 1880s -

Thanks for the comment Lee! Wow, that Thomas Fenton looks in great condition for it’s age! And to have the box too is extra special! Are the scales horn?

Thanks Priscilla for your comment! My pics don’t really do the pearl justice. Hope you are enjoying those 2 Sheffield beauties!!

Thanks very much ... I believe the handles are cocobolo ...

Great show, guys.

Beautiful knife, Sheffieldguy! That is the first coffin lobster I have seen.
Great knife and box, Lee!

Thanks guys!
