Ordered on Sunday night.  Got confirmation  of the mailing on Monday, just waiting for the knives :)

Donnie is so excited we have wanted  a knife from these folks for quite a while.  If you have not checked them out, you should.  Ron Dumeah has pics of a few of his up also :)

This is a new handle made from Ox horn - the horn is translucent and the colours are at various depths within the horn. Much more colourful than the buffalo and they really look like works of art. http://www.sheffield-gb.com

Hello everyone, I normally stick to the American made knives but there was 1 Sheffield made knife that I couldn't resist. Was made by Joseph Hepworth & Sons circa 1850. It has smooth bone handles, silver bolsters and a silver inlaid shield. measures 4 1/8 closed. All blades are tight and snap real good!

I have spent a few days travelling around looking up some of the more obscure places where you can find knifes. Waterloo station London because of the Olympics has extra security guards everywhere and to get in you have to walk through a security check. Walking in with a large vintage Bowie inside my jacket and three other knives in my pockets the security guard without speaking held his arm up in front of me at forty five degrees.  I thought oh no this is it - big trouble. I ignored him and walked round his arm and just carried on walking, nothing happened and not a word was spoken during the entire event. 

I don't know whether there is a moral in this but am still pondering the matter.

This a typical Victorian multi-bladed knife usually the body made in Sheffield and the silver Birmingham. This is dated 1893 but the other marks are indistinct

That's a great old ruler knife. This one is from the 1930s.

This is a Sheffield knife and ruler combination from around 1900. It does not belong to me but is interesting as a scarce combination. I visit some of the more obscure antique markets in London but except for fruit knives nothing much shows up these days. I may have posted this twice on account of my consumption of Merlot last night.

I think my trying to achieve the right colour consistency with the knives takes away some of the shine and brilliance. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scissors-Knives-from-Sheffield-Englan...

If you would like to put that picture on our facebook page people would like to see it. regards malcolm
