Rare 19th Century "Fish" Pocket Knife
Rare & Unusual
19th Century
Bone Handled Pocket Knife
in the shape of a fish.
circa 1860s.
Maker: Needham Brothers, Sheffield.
Two blades both stamped Needham.
The bone handle cut into the shape of a fish with hand carved design.
Approximate dimensions: closed length 81.9mm (3.2 inches), with long blade open 141.8mm (5.6 inches), long blade cutting edge 54.6mm (2.1 inches), with short blade open 115.3mm (4.5 inches), cutting edge 29.4mm (1.1 inches), weight 30.2 grams.
As you can see in the photos, there is aging to the blades and the carving on the handle will not be as sharp as it was 150 years ago but it is still clear and in good order.
A very rare find.
