A penknife is a small knife used to sharpen the tip of quill pens, etc.
It can also be used to sharpen pencils or as a letter opener.
This is a folding type with a mother-of-pearl handle and a sterling silver blade.
The white pearl handle is decorated with detailed carvings, and the metal plate is engraved with the first owner's initials.
It is in very good condition considering it is 190 years old.
We hope that this “once in a lifetime opportunity” will be a special encounter for you!
