All About Pocket Knives

Salesmans Sample yes or No . Numbers with Black ink on Back 1012 with English Hall Marks ,on front at tang era NO6 Norfolk St Sheffield England , Has Fluted Iron Bolsters & Liners and Pretty Stag . Great Half Stop & Gator Snap

Wow that’s looks like a horse of a knife. Most salesman samples I’ve seen were pretty neatly inked. This ink doesn’t look typical to me but then it is a big knife. Beautiful knife no matter what.

Wow. A beautiful knife
Congrats.

That's one handsome knife, Gary, I vote "No" on salesman's sample, but don't ask me why.

At Least you voted I think it is but I wasn't there when the ink hit the Blade

Does black numbers on the blade usually indicate it's a salesman's sample?

Usually that what you look for

Thanks, Gary!

Just saw this post, man that’s a sweet knife

Just picked up these 3 Joseph Rodgers knife/tool sets. I’ve seen the cases before but never a whole set. One of them has what I believe is the former owner. Lt General Bourne. I looked him up and he was born in 1882 and had that rank right before WW2, he retired during the war.
