antique-knives.com is a private collection of antique and vintage knives and related antiques such as writing implements and medical instruments. This collection is extensive and currently being offered for sale through this webshop as no family members have an interest in the items and the webshop is an option to selling through Auction. The knife collection is mainly of folding knives with a concentration on folding knives, all fully functional, unless otherwise cited. While the knife collection is strongly orientated on Sheffield and other UK knives, various other countries are represented – French, German, Italian, USA, etc. I realise genuine collectors always prefer to touch and feel, particularly with the higher value items, and personal inspection is possible in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire location. My descriptions are honest and report when the ‘snap’ is absent – few knives are without that ’snap’, except for the very old are rare examples.
