Vintage Pocket Knife Key Ring. Early 19th Century. Mother of Pearl and Sterling Silver

The hand-carved handle of high quality mother of pearl is the standout feature of this knife. It alsmost certainly would have been carved from Australian pearl shell which were exported to England from the 1800s.

It has a key ring attachment which makes it especially useful.

The thin blade and button hook is stainless steel and therefore lacks the hallmarks required on silver blades. The exact date of manufacture and the maker is therefore unknown. However, it would have been produced in England in the early 1900s. The advantage of stainless steel is that it is much harder than silver and is able to maintain a sharper edge.

The action is nice and tight and the blade straight with the handle when open and flush when closed. The blade is in very good condition and the knife is 95mm in length when open which is on the large side for such knives.

A wonderful piece of history and fits comfortably in your pocket for daily use. A lovely piece for collectors, enthusiasts or as a unique and meaningful gift.
