| Description | This pocket combined knives is made of steel. It is composed of a handle and two sharp ends joint to it. One is a sharper and the other is a Paget's abscess knife. Both blades fold into the sheath/handle.
Some corrosion is present, together with some green coloration at the Paget's abscess knife end, possibly indicating the presence of a former tape. The Scalpel's blade has a chip.
Unfolding the knives is difficult due to rust.
When fully open (185mm x 10mm x 6mm), the marking "Hatrick Clerkwell" can be seen on the handle. |
