Victorian Sheffield Table Knife — W. Beckett & Co, "None to Compare", Cow Horn Handle
A handsome single table knife from Sheffield, England, stamped W. Beckett & Co / Sheffield / None to Compare.
The knife features a wide, flat-spined blade with a characteristic rounded tip — typical of Victorian table knives intended for the dinner table rather than the kitchen. The turned cow horn handle has a pleasing bulbous form with a nickel bolster, showing the natural dark grain that only genuine horn develops.
