A very old (I would say late 19thC.) A. Parkin of Sheffield "REAL LAMB FOOT" pocket knife.
The scales are of bovine horn and the blade is really worn down from constant use/sharpening.
Nice and tight with good "snap" on opening and closing.
Cheap as chips from an antique shop at £1.80. I bought my military 1943 clasp knife the same day, along with a small unused Taylors of Sheffield double-bladed penknife with engine turning on the scales, very nice for less than £8.50 for the three.
Nice looking old knife! Love authentic Sheffields. [;>)

Thanks Michael!
Unfortunately the first link is saying it has been deleted, but I love those in the second link.
I have a surprise for you, as my next post is one of those "Hobo knives", I got this last Friday from a junk shop for £2.
Thanks for the love!
Thanks again for the love, brunswick!
