I tried a search and cant find it. Does anyone have the link to list of sheffield knife makers late 1800's?
 
I didn't find the list I was looking for, But did find the name of the maker on one of
Bernard Levine's links. A local trading post has a J. Nowill and Sons knife in it for $50. Just checking to see what it ws all about.
 
I am cleaning up and generally restoring a bowie style Sheffield by E.M. Dickenson for a lady that lives here in town. Her grandmother had it and she says it's at least 75 years old. It has a 6 5/8" X 1" X 1/8" clip point blade, narrow oval nickle-silver guard and slab Sambar stag handle. She said it was known as "grandma's pigsticker" in her family.

Anybody heard of this type of knife before? I don't know a thing about old knives.
