Stag handle; large blade, pen blade, corkscrew, awl, hook. Unspoiled monogram plate. George Wostenholm as a maker of fine cutlery goes back to the early 1700's- by 1751, son Henry had petitioned the Company of Cutlers guild for the use of the term Spring Knife- and so, the modern spring locker folding pocket knife was born. Wostenholm made a name for itself in the 1800's through innovation and quality- their folding utility and hunting knives would be the model by which many others, including the Swiss Army Knife would be judged- and their American bowie knives (George Wostenholm the third was very fond of America and its need for excellent frontier steel) were revered. Three such bowies, turned into works of art by designer Alfred Stevens, would be exhibited to acclaim at the Great London Exhibition of 1851. Wostenholm folding knives could be found on the frontiers of Asia and Antarctica, the battlefields of America, and the pockets of officers and gentleman alike during WW1- and they are still one of Europe's most respected makers of fine cutlery. This unique variant of the usual farrier's knife features a long handle with a stout, distally tapered main spade-point blade, flanked by a small fold out cross cut saw and gut or twinning hook. On the backside, a stout triangular awl, flat-coil corkscrew, and small tapering pen blade is present. Cross jumping on the back tools offers a comfortable grip for the thumb. The lock up on the main blade is nice and tight. German silver hardware, all tooling mirror polished. Stag handle, brass liners. Both blades read, IXL George Wostenholm Sheffield England, at ricasso. A monogram plate is present, but has not been previously engraved. Artist: G. WostenholmDimensions: 5.75"L x 0.75"D x 1.25"HCountry of Origin: England, SheffieldCondition: Age related wear.
