Knives manufactured by I Wilson of Sheffield, England supplied in quantities to the United States during the second half of the 19 C. and were very popular between settlers and mountaineers in the west. Up for sale is a nice example. 8 inches blade, slightly up rising, marked and clearly signed by the maker. Hardwood grips and brass bolsters. Total length 13 ½ inches. Very good condition. Minor blackened spot on the blade.
