Originally the family name was spelt ‘Wolstenholme’ but, story has it that the second George Wolstenholme found this name too long for smaller knives so he omitted the letters ‘l’ and ‘e’. The name has been spelt Wostenholm ever since. Blade length – 10 ½ cm. Total length including handle – 22 ½ cm. This knife has a 12 cm hardwood handle with two finger grooves. It has a small brass cross guard above a red painted band with an ornate engraving and a brass pommel which is also engraved. The blade itself is engraved ‘I * XL with George Wolstenholm and Sons’ on a scroll with ‘Sheffield England’ beneath. The knife comes with its original engraved thick leather sheath with rear belt loop, which is in excellent condition too. The price includes U.K. delivery. ED 2486.
