Jack I'm not familiar with that knife at all but I'm very curious what those two small blades are for one seems to have a hole in it would you mind telling some ore about the pattern.

Now that's a nice knife. I wish I could find something like that at the flea market. I haven't seen anything like that for £500, much less £5.

A good day that was!

Worth at least £7.

Seriously, Jack, what a terrific looking piece. Any info on the maker?

The more I think about this find, with a;ll the information out there on the internet...the more extraordinary it is.

Thanks a lot guys, I'm still in a slight state of disbelief

It's a Sleeveboard Lobster Penknife Randy, made at Ibberson's in Sheffield in 1951, quite probably by Stan Shaw, with MOP covers and stainless blades. The two small blades (actually properly called 'accessories') are a pricker, and a manicure blade with file, and the 'hole' is not a hole, but a nick for opening
