BEAUTIFUL Vintage ADAMS Sheffield Saddler's Leather-cutting Head Knife w/Sheath

Description

This superb leather-worker's head knife is 100% solid and read to perform a couple of lifetimes of outstanding service to the modern saddler who knows that they truly don't make 'em like this anymore.  Its curving blade is still RAZOR SHARP on both sides of its curved blade, which was hand-forged from the finest carbon steel. (Though  it shines like stainless, it will rust if not properly kept dry.)  As you can see this knife is reinforced  with a brass ferrule to keep it tight and look even better, pierced through by a hidden, rat-tail tang all the way to the butt of its handle.  It was made in Sheffield, England by the J.Adams company sometime in the 1970's, when they were still making them at this level of quality and WITH an incredibly fine leather sheath.  It measures 8.5" long, with the blade measuring 4.25" wide from tip to tip.
Though designed for cutting leather, many people use these knives for skinning game and even as a mezzaluna in the kitchen;  combined with a wooden chopping bowl (or a flat chopping board), there's nothing better for reducing a herbs, onions, scallions, garlic, etc., to a finely minced pastiche of ingredients in a hurry.
A GREAT knife at a VERY reasonable price.
