Wondering if anyone is able to confirm the particulars on my little Sheffield folder?? It sure does resemble the 12705 Boreal ... and yet there's a slight difference ( handle ) from pics I've seen online. ThanksIMG_5544.jpegIMG_5542.jpegIMG_5543.jpeg
 
Looks like the same basic knife. Yours could be an older version. It's certainly possible, and probably likely that the knife was redesigned at some point, probably to lower costs, or maybe because production facilities were changed, or maybe the newer design was easier for workers to assemble, or all of the above.

Here is a similar version, with the Duluth Trading company logo, clearly a promotional knife. One thing I feel comfortable saying for sure is, none of them came out of Sheffield, England.

Much obliged.
 
It's Chinese. Mine came free with order of LED bulbs from the Express. Sort of well built but needs sharpening every time you open it...
 
A cheap piece of junk, not made in the UK.
