Been looking for a Case XX era stag knife that I could carry. Found this used 5332, pocket worn stag, small amount of blade loss, tight and snappy, will make a great carry.

So, I took a small risk on a little penknife of undetermined covers and origins.
It came today, and first of all, I was surprised to find it's not so little a knife: 3 5/8ths inches. I'm pretty sure these covers are tooth.

I did my best google-fu, and the only reference or images for R BEST of Sheffield, England shows that mark on ink eraser knives (many incorrectly listed as fleams or surgical tools) I haven't found any examples of R BEST pocket knives.
Perhaps my friend, and resident expert in all things Sheffield, @Jack Black has some insight?

At any rate, I'm "right chuffed" with this find.

Wow Cal, gorgeous knife

Here's an old EC SIMMONS (1870-1940) KEEN KUTTER Barlow, pattern 2881 3/4. other than very slight blade loss, it is a fantastic knife and one that gives you the green light to carry right off Rock Solid blades and excellent snap, whisper thin so it cuts just looking at it. Small nicks in the butt of the bone but other than that the bone is pocket worn and has beautiful aged color to it The aged bolsters are deeply stamped as well.

Thats a real nice KK there Paul my friend, the age of that Knife actually suits the Carrier! Both Vintages edging onto Antiques.
