Geo. Wolstenholm & Son - Sheffield, England

[Buddy Thomason]

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.
