Great little Helle robrinay. Is there any evidence of the former knife making glory left in Sheffield now?

Hard to beat an original Marbles Renault, unless it was in it's original sheath too! There's a reason they are called "Ideal".
Yes Mike they still make cutlery pocket and sheath knives here but on a much smaller scale than 'back in the day'.
Here is a link to the Famous Sheffield Shop where they sell them- there's a brief intro to knife making and a few other interesting things on the site, ( check out the Bowies for sale link).

Agree V.C., very nice and collectable too. I used to collect the XX USA time frame and at a knife show I was made an offer I couldn't refuse for the whole collection. Curious to know what you paid for yours but don't feel obligated to reply.

I have to admit I love Randall Made knives. Here are some shots of some of my favorites. Some are photographed with firearms. My apologies, in advance, if anyone finds that inappropriate for this thread.
