Geo. Wolstenholm & Son - Sheffield, England
Here's another one I picked up as part of a trade. As I recall, it was purchased back in the 1950s basically as a gift from father to son. The son (I'm sure we can all relate) kinda messed up the knife "sharpening" it etc. I don't know what it cost or what it's worth.
Interestingly, it's pretty stout - OAL 5 3/4 in., blade 3 in. and the spine is a full 1/8 in. thick. The guard, spacers, stag and pommel are all tight as can be. Even the sheath leather is much thicker than I would've imagined. It's pretty neat acutally. Otherwise it would appear to be your basic good quality souvenir knife from fifty years ago. What do you all think? |

The made in England stamp indicates that it was mfg'd for export. Nice looking piece of stag and spacers. Seeing as its days as a hunter/bowie is past, it would make a nice little boot pattern or drop point.Someone with some grinding skill could probably reconfigure that edge and possibly minimize those scratches. Can you tell if is carbon or stainless?

I like it. It's not often you see a clip point on this type of knife. I like the looks of the aged spacers, and am surprized that it was still tight! I suppose you can put it in my box with the French Connection knife.
