Sheffield Steel Ring-Opening Pocket Knife, Twin Blade

An ingenious stainless steel cased and double bladed folding knife from the Eye Witness Works, Sheffield, thought to be the last traditional works still housing manufacture of the products for which it was built. Unusually the knife can be opened by turning the small rings which project from and rotate the pivot — great for delicate and too short nails, or gloved hands. The small pen blades were used originally to sharpen quills but make great whittling and general purpose pocket knives. Approximately 7cm long when folded.
