Antique 1700s “Faux” Tortoise Shell Sheffield Fruit Knife Silver Pocket Knife:
$130.00
Absolutely stunning “faux“ tortoise shell scaled, silver bladed, fruit knife made in Sheffield England in 1790!!
This is a beautiful fruit knife with a sterling silver blade that is hallmarked two 1790 it has fancy decoration along the spine of the blade towards the nail nick, silver bolsters, firework spring (on both sides)
The blade has some patina, but since it is silver, it can be very easily polished. I leave this up to the end buyer. The Blade has great snap and all positions which is very rare on a silver bladed knife of this age as the tang is usually rounded since silver is so soft.
The tortoise shell scales are beautiful and highly polished, although missing a piece on the presentation and the pile side as well as a pin crack on the pile side.
The backspring has fancy file working, and if you look inside the blade channel, the interior of the spring is also worked and fancy.
Closed length: 3” Open length: 5-1/2” Blade length: 2-1/2”
