This is my last adquisition, I was a pair of days with doubts about buy it or no, but finally I bought it. I havenīt the knife now but in a days I will have it.
The pocket knife is marked M TRUSTWORTHY MAPPIN&COMPI SHEFFIELD and the measurement is total 9 , 5 in and the blade 5, 25 in .
I hope you enjoy pictures from seller. Any information would be apreciated.
best regards
carlos

That's very nice....

I'd love to get one of those tomahawks.... Those are pretty cool!

Hi Carlos,

I love these old folders!

I am able to locate two references to a Sheffield knife maker named Mappin - a Mappin Brothers and a Mappin & Webb, the latter of which used the "Trustworthy" trademark, and produced cutlery from 1835 to 1964. :)

What material was used in the construction of the bolsters? Is it a ferrous metal?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi all

This is not actually an ethnographic piece. It is a Sheffield folding knife so I moved it into the European section.
