Here is one of my favourites, a John McClory Sheffield Scotia knife with ivory scales. The firm closed in 1938 so it has some age. The blades have had relatively little use but the bolsters are well worn. This knife has been carried in someone's pocket for many years.
Overall length closed 3.5inches (8.39cm).

Are you sure the handle material is ivory? It looks like very, very worn smooth bone.

Cool old knife, but OC is correct, scales are bone not ivory.

Nice pocket worn knife with a great history.
