Vintage William Rodgers knife featuring a 4.5-inch steel blade and original-style sheath. William Rodgers of Sheffield was a well-established British cutlery manufacturer, with the Rodgers name associated with hunting, sporting and utility knives produced in Sheffield. This example follows the practical pattern associated with traditional British sporting and outdoor knives, combining a substantial fixed blade with a compact form suitable for general hunting and field use.
The 4.5-inch blade provides the knife with useful proportions while retaining a relatively compact overall size. The accompanying sheath completes the original appearance and provides an important part of the knife’s collectable appeal. William Rodgers knives are of particular interest to collectors of Sheffield cutlery, British hunting knives, sporting knives and vintage edged weapons, with examples displaying original sheaths being especially useful for collectors seeking complete period pieces.
The ricasso is marked “William Rodgers, I Cut My Way” on one side and “Made in Sheffield, England” on the other.
A good example for a collection of vintage British knives, Sheffield-made cutlery or sporting equipment. The combination of the recognised William Rodgers name, the 4.5-inch blade and the accompanying sheath makes this a straightforward and attractive example of British knife manufacture.
Dimensions: Approx. 11.5cm blade, 21.5cm overall length
Condition: Good vintage condition, with age-related wear and signs of previous use. The blade and sheath show appropriate signs of age and handling.
