Richards Pen Knife

[Mossyhorn]

This is the smallest knife that I've got in my modest collection. It's a Richards from Sheffield England. It has the Union Jack on one side and imitation pearl on the other. It measures 2" closed and has a 1 1/4"
blade. It's not in very good condition, but I thought I'd share it.

Reminds me of mine.

They sure look alike. I'm glad to to see another one.

I got another Richards single bladed knife at a local fleamarket and a Richards Scout knife by Mr. Jack Black (thanks again). Really great little knives! They are made like the old Solingen ones, (that means) just to work and cut.

The way the scales are put on these knives remember me the Imperial (I got from Brian) and the Hammerbrand Barlow (I got from Vanguard winning his GA). They might look cheaply made but are great.
I haven´t reprofiled the grind on mine, so I can´t talk about their way of sharpening. But the first-in-hand-impression on these knives is just great.

Congratz, Sir!

I think it is well made. The blade still has plenty of snap.
