[hig789]

Here's one of mine. The only one I have pics of right now.

Not a big fan of the modern stag but I love the old Sheffield stag.

Lovely old Rodgers Whittler :thumbup:

I got this old Whittler in with a parcel of Rodgers knives I bought, but any provenance it ever had has been long cleaned/worn away unfortunately

 

[Jack Black]

Interesting knife, it was patented on April 23rd, 1892 by Joseph Rodgers and may not have gone into full production.

Great info my friend :thumbup:

Thanks Duncan, very kind of you The lack of a tang-stamp has put me off posting it here before. I could do with sorting through the drawers and taking a few pics :thumbup:

This thread has made me realise I’m not a vey good Brit,not a single sheffield knife in my little collection.This will be corrected asap.Seen a rather nice single blade that will fit the bill .:thumbup: Where did I put that credit card.

What an absolute gem of a piece Charles, and wonderfully presented here. I don't know where you find these beautiful old knives, but I'm glad that you do. Thank you for sharing them with us

Thanks for all the nice comments. The knife is one of my vintage gems with a pedigree, the quality presentation is John's great photos and staging.
