1890 British Antique White Pearl Shell Handle Pure Silver Blade Folding Pen Knife
SKU: 172556084
A penknife is a small knife used to sharpen the tip of a quill pen.
It seems that you can also sharpen pencils and use it like a letter opener.
This is a folding type with a pure silver blade attached to a mother-of-pearl handle.
There is no decoration such as engraving on the handle or blade, but it is a knife with a beautiful white pearl shell.
The slightly slim handle is engraved with "BLANCHE", which seems to be the first owner's name.
We hope this lovely folding knife will brighten up your day!
