I found this guy in 1970 on a Maine island. Even then the blade was ground down to this size. :oops: That's nearly 1/3rd off the new knife blade. I don't think it was an old knife but that some guy/kid had access to a grinder and just went at it. :( Maybe the intent was just to make the profile more friendly for pocket carry, in any case it doesn't hold an edge now. ;)

Marlin spike is occasionally useful though... :)

I wonder what purpose Victorinox had in mind when they created this svelte little number?? Thin and light - all metal, and nicely fitted and sprung!!:cool:View attachment 1621120View attachment 1621121

Small Yachting Knives were commonly produced by Sheffield cutlery firms, but they probably sold far more Girl Guide knives at one time. They are essentially the same pattern (though some have a Spear rather than a Sheepsfoot).

While Edwin Blyde & Co Ltd claimed to have been established in 1798, 45 years before Edwin Blyde was born, they were first listed in 1860. They operated at numerous Sheffield premises in the late 19th century. In 1912, two years before Blyde's death, at the age of 71, the business was sold to Walter Trickett, with Blyde's becoming a limited company in 1926. Trickett's Anglo Works still stands in Sheffield, though it is now a bar.

While Trickett mainly manufactured table cutlery, after 1950, Blyde concentrated on pewter ware.

It's a baker's knife. It's serrated to help in cutting soft dough. I know iw a baker who uses one. It's also perfect gift for a lady who never knew she needed a knife for her purse ;)
