Not a little sheffield, but I have a Kinfolks 333 that I cary pretty often. Handy little knife, similar size to yours.

I love small fixed blades, those are very nice! I'd use the hell out of them if i were you.
Impress everyone at the trout cleaning station by using an old stag sheffield :D
 
I too love a small pocket fixed blade. Very handy little knives to have, and those of yours are so totally cool. Great stag, lots of old time class to them.:thumb up:

Just this past December at the Timmonium show, I picked up a little pocket puuko that is about that size. Makes a great jacket pocket knife, or neck knife when out fishing.

Nice looking and a small sheath knife makes a lot of sense (PSK anybody?) Never been keen on very large sheath knives, too much atmosphere of the bayonet :eek:in my view
 
Cossack my friend, Im not too sure as to what you mean by not top quality, if you take that lovely little William Rodgers that you have with the Dark Stag , and take note that the packers and washers are still as tight as the day they were made...the blade considerably worn down..and still has much to offer...I say that for a 1950's - 1960's knife..it has proven itself, and yet stands to take what you have to give it...that tells me you have a great knife there my friend.

For any overseas guys ( non New Zealanders ) I would like to tell you a wee bit about Sean here ( festerfromenzed ), he is a great guy, I met him through the world of knives, and he has taught me a lot, and he is held in very high regard in my opinion, he is always a very welcome guest in my house...a user of knives compared to someone like me who would run up and try hug an animal...we are totally different people, but share a love for knives.

Bladeforums here is such a vast mixture of people, its easy to forget who we are and what we have in common.
Sean here can sharpen a knife to the degree I feel quite annoyed at the boy..as I I try so so hard to get there ( where Sean is at his talent of sharpening ) and only at times do I do this with my knives :D, and I just want to say I totally respect our bladeforum friend here festerfromenzed.

I carry a Traditional slippie with me now every day of my life, every time I open this knife I treasure it in quite a few different ways, I used hold a collection of fixed blades that ran into the hundreds, now... the fixed blades are only a handfull, and Traditionals burn within so deep, I cannot ever see my way out....and I have seen this very transition in Sean here...sorry to rave folks, but I think its kinda neat that something we all share of the love of Traditional folding knives/slippies....its rare to be able to share this, Im glad I can share this with all of you.
Sean gets out there, and at times lives off the land by hunting, and he to me is the real deal of guys who can truly comment on the use of the knife, and yet with this - respects life, and goes with the flow as to what I think you should if you hunt, that is not to go out and slaughter, but to go out, feel the gift that nature has to give you by respecting what it offers you, take what you need, and preserve the true beauty that only New Zealand can offer you at times, so it can be enjoyed for many generations to come.
Im glad you love your knives like I do Sean, because thats a great thing to have.

A couple of sharp looking knives there FES, very handy size too.

Here's a scan taken from a late 70s Clarke's (William Rodgers) catalogue..
