Buck & Hickman rope knife
£150.00
Maker: " BUCK & HICKMAN LIMITED LONDON" is stamped on the mark side tang.
It has a closed length of 4 5/8 inches, stag horn scales, non-integral steel liners, nickel silver bolsters, and a steel shackle and pin.
Ron Flook in his "The London Knife Book"i notes that the company had been in business in London from at least 1839 and were operating as "saw and tool makers".
The style of the knife, such as the nickle silver bolsters, suggests a date of early - to mid-20th century. It is also possible that the knife was made in Sheffield for Buck & Hickman.
