I think it's been re-handled, both because of the weird angle and the strange wedge (?) visible in the last pic.

The wire wrapped ferrule is odd; handle material appears to be burl.

But the Cutlers To The People is the sweetest part of it.

This retains a fine edge after years of paper cutting...and I have never sharpened it!

Maybe Harrington & Son were Englishmen who fled there after failing to secure a Royal Commission?

Thanks for lookin'...
