That marlin spike on the rope knife sure looks uniqueThanks Charlie!
The Top Knife in that Photo is a Harrisons Bros. Sheffield Knife, I picked up this very old one up a while agi, it was covered in Paint, took a while with a Bamboo toothpick to clean it I can tell you!
This is a Marples- Like the Woodwork tools, I'm sure made for them and there are a very few Knives out there with that Tang Stamp.
Integral Bolster work - and a Massive Back Spring that makes this Ol' Girl still snap with authority!
I hope this Knife belongs here, as I do think that this knife was made with the intention of a Rope Knife, it has the exact same Blade shape as the Harrison bros knife and I do not think it was originally a Hawwkbill that is worn down.
What are your thoughts on this one?
ps- I agree our friend Augie , Those Damascus ones are very nice Charlie!!!
