I don't get many of these, but here's another.
A beautiful matched pair of steak/eating knives, forged finish SF100 steel and stabilised Walnut scales.
The Walnut scales are not only bookmatched on each knife, but the pair is also bookmatched; all four scales are cut side by side from the same block of timber.
The timber is a remnant of some supplied to me many moons ago by one of our most famous and renowned London gunmakers.
The 2mm-thick, Sheffield-made SF100 steel gets a forged finish on the spines of each knife, and both are steak-splittingly sharp.
As the photos show, the pair are supplied in a stunning leather roll.
The leather is a waxed finish, South American bull hide, as with my recent sheaths; it is truly a magnificent thing.
The interior features two flapped pouches, one for each knife.
All in all, it is a totally splendid piece of kit.
I also love the idea of the double rolls. In fact, the last set of six similar that I supplied was housed in three doubles, rather than one six.
I imagine the theatre of having three (or however many) of these placed upon your set table, one between each couple of folk to share.
Headed for a nice weekend away, take a pair with you.
This brace of SF100 knives, handled in stabilised Walnut, and the leather roll, is priced at £495.
