Cool knife, it look older than 50-60’s to me, but maybe not. Harold

Steel liners old style kick. I had looked at the rose trowel company in Phlia . They made knives in the 1800s. There are a few rose in Ny as well.

To my eye, it looks early English and before 1950 for sure. I've been wrong before.____Dave

George Rose is listed in Tweedale's new 3rd edition, "Directory of Cutlery Manufacturers 1740 to 2024". George Rose was listed as a pocketknife maker at Wadsley in an 1825 Sheffield directory. His father, his son and 2 of his brothers were also listed as involved in the cutlery trade at Wadsley. All of them were dead by the early 1850s, with George living the longest, dying in 1855.
Are the bolsters integral on your knife?
