J.B. Holland Sheffield 2-Blade Jack Knife, Horn Scales

$65.00

This two-blade jack knife was made by J. B. Holland, a Sheffield spring knife cutler active from the 1910s until his death in 1962, carrying his tang stamp. Holland ran his own advertising-knife business from Continental Works, Milton Street, Sheffield.

Horn handle scales with nickel silver bolsters. A knife that was clearly carried and used, with the honest wear that comes with it.
