It has a closed length of 4 ½ inches, stag horn scales, integral steel liners and bolsters, and hand-forged tapered backspring. The butt end is drilled for a lanyard. The blade has lost 40% to 50% of its profile due to wear and sharpening however most likely started out as a sheepfoot blade with a more gentle slope to the point (with similarities to the Wharncliffe style blade)". Tweedale makes no mention of the maker and neith does Flook in "The London Knife Book"
