Overview
This antique Boning/Pairing knife features an enlongated drop point blade and the guard is forged from the same piece of metal. Nickel Silver collar attaches to the wooden handle that has metal decorative inlays. Used condition.Note from seller:
It comes from a very small maker from Sheffield, England. It was hand-forged with an integral blade/bolster/hidden tang, and it possesses the kind of superior steel that made the British Empire the dominant military, political and economic force in the world for over 200 years. The handles are made from highly polished black ebony, inlaid with German silver and very small bits of abalone mother-of-pearl. To find this knife in any condition is nothing short of rare.
