We would like to introduce you to an antique British folding penknife.

A penknife is a small knife used to sharpen the tips of quill pens.
It could also be used to sharpen pencils or as a letter opener.

Made by James Deakin & Sons, Sheffield, England, 1898.
Both the blade and handle are made of sterling silver and the handle is intricately decorated.
It's large for a penknife, so it might be a fruit knife.
The blade is stamped with the name of a different manufacturer, but the year of manufacture is the same, so I believe the handle and blade were made by separate labor teams and then assembled together.
Comes neatly housed in a leather-lined case.

We hope this once-in-a-lifetime encounter will be a special one for you!
