Its a good quality sheffield steel blade from one of the companies that supplied commando blades during WW2

I have my granddads hunting knife, his is Sheffield England and identical to yours but its a bit longer than yours and hell its sharp. Id say from the same era, 40's, 50's when he was a young fella

AnotherHunter, that pig sticker looks to good to use on a pig.

Have you made that folder from scratch, is it a re-blade of an existing folder?

hi bremic , yes , I made the folder from scratch . it is a linerlock . The liners are titanium which is a mongrel to work with . I haven't got a mill so just a drill press and handtools. I have made a few folders but they are very time consuming and each time I swear I will never make another

Just got this one at the weekend, camel bone with brass liners, o1 steel, bubbling effect on blades is camellia oil for protection during storage

Looking at some of the old Sheffield blades, this is a old William Rogers " I cut my way " I have been renovating , just ground the blade to 30% for cutting. I did not want to polish the blade, just remove the rust, Not sure of the date of manufacture, 50s 60s ?

Yeah, that is a great job, well done.

The large german folding is unusual.

Very odd. Can you put up pics of a few more angles?

Very nice Johnm. I particularly like the top one.

Top one is William Rogers " I cut my way "

John, William Rodgers made a fair burn Sykes for the military , looking at that blade, they made some hunter types as well, love it.

That folding knife above is called a dague A la d'estaing
Google the name and you will find many different models with the folding guard which is an original feature.

Friwi

Thanks Fiwi I learnt something new tonight its proper name. The third down is a Marbles and there was a very nice Dague a la d'estaing made by them in the images.

that folding bowie is very cool. ive seen them before but not as nice as that. did it ever have a sheath ?

Yes it still has its sheath and is put away in its folded position.
