This very nice pocket folding knife was made by the renewed Joseph & Rodgers Cutlery Company in the early 20th century

JOSEPH RODGERS swell-end jack with shell handles, marked No. 6 Norfolk St, Sheffield, England with the star and cross on the back of the tang. Deep struck Rodgers mark on the spear point blade

The inscription England indicates being made after 1890

Blade looks to be in in full profile and close firmly with a very firm snap (some oil would help for a smoother opening and closing)

Almost no pitting and no dents

Glossy genuine shell slabs with brown-red overtones, no damage to note

This folder measures 8,5cm long when folded and 15 cm when fully extended
