Knives with Different Handle Scales (2023) - Showcasing Pen & Pocket Knives 3

To celebrate 200 years of excellence in cutlery making in Sheffield since the original creation of the Joseph Rodgers Year Knife in 1821 a series of short films showcasing pen and pocket knife making was commissioned by the Ken Hawley Collection Trust. This was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The third film in the series illustrates the range of materials used in making the scales for pen and pocket knives. Knives are illustrated with ivory, mother of pearl, metal, mock tortoiseshell and platinum scales. The finer examples were often made for presentation purposes rather than practical use.
