[QUOTE="KSW, post: 3021874, member: 8708"]I was sorting out some bits of scrap silver to sell and put this in the pile. I had tried and failed to open it and assumed it was a needle case and with a bit of damage. OH was looking over my shoulder and decided he was going to open it. Well he succeeded eventually but drew blood in the process as we didn’t expect it to be a knife!. It is hallmarked for Birmingham Francis Webb 1901. What is the proper name for a knife like this? Probably still scrap with the dents in the end but a nice little item and a good lesson to me to be more careful about checking things out.
