Victorian Sheffield Steak Knife — Joseph Rodgers & Sons, Cutlers to Her Majesty, Bone Handle

A Victorian steak knife by Joseph Rodgers & Sons, Cutlers to Her Majesty. The blade bears the full stamp with the star and Maltese cross trademarks, dating this example to the Victorian era.

The knife features a carbon steel blade with a graceful clip point profile and deep, characterful patina accumulated over more than a century of use. The handle is fitted with creamy ox bone scales secured with two steel pins — solid and intact with no cracks or losses, showing the natural warm colour and texture that only genuine bone develops with age.
