RichardB Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well, this one is a knife, obviously, anyone got any ideas about the date of manufacture, or know anything of the Company; some postings will be well known, some less so ... more to come ... Details : William Rodgers "I CUT MY WAY" on one side of blade MADE IN SHEFFIELD ENGLAND on the other side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardB Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Whale Trademark knife, wooden handle, beautiful feel to it. Blade says "SHEFFIELD MADE" and "MADE IN SHEFFIELD ENGLAND" on one side. Other side has a Whale trademark. Note notch near base of blade, and pointed tip. Probably the oldest one I have, any info. gratefully received (especially if you can tell me where I put that list of trademarks, only noticed the whale whilst scanning this object) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield History Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 We'll add the big about mass murderers to the guidelines ! Actually - it's just inspired me (indirectly) to think that we maybe should have a thread dedicated to Sheffield crime and famous criminals ? Great pics by the way - keep them coming !
