Nice Mick,
Another fine example of the 19c cutlers craftmanship.
Here is what I guess you'd call a baby jack knife. The knife is two inches closed with two blades a pen and quill. Both blades are stamped " Thomas Turner & Co Suffolk Works". Integral iron liners and bolsters. Looks to be pretty early c.1840-1850.

Hi Joe, that's an interesting small(ish) jack knife, early too, never seen that "Suffolk Works" marking on anything else..thanks for showing :thumbup:
There's a picture of the late Victorian Suffolk Works on Mr Levine's "A visit to Sheffield in 1829" thread.
