1765 Multi-Blade Folding Knife by Joseph Bower (Sheffield)

Remarkable 'swiss army knife' (if you will) from the mid to late 18th century by a noted Sheffield master maker.

Beautiful historic piece!

Thanks. It's definitely a beauty.

I have seen one like it in the Weston park museum in Sheffield UK. Some truly awesome knives including the Norfolk knife with over 2000 blades. Thank you for sharing the history of this beautiful knife. A true museum exhibit in its own right.

That is a beautiful knife, nice size too, very cool to have a blade that length and shaped like that and it folds too. Great work as usual mate.

Daaaaamn

[@MichaelSheldon]

I would love to have a reproduction of that knife.

[@ObjectHistory]

Heck yes.

[@Dantheferret]

Really... that’s two centuries old?

[@ObjectHistory]

According the expert at a very prestigious auction house, yes. There are sadly lots of fakes in the antiques world so we always have to be a little skeptical.

[@Dantheferret]

Do they make replicas of the knife because I would really like to have one

[@ObjectHistory]

@@Dantheferret I'm not aware of anyone who does. Would almost certainly have to be a custom job.
