spazzy paddy 127 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 hi , ive had this knocking around for the last 35 years at least,It belonged to my bro and then my dad took it off him and hid it!,then my dad passed and at a later date so did my bro.Rummaging through an old box i found it again.After i cleaned the blade a little i discovered it was produced by William Rodgers Sheffield England.The length is 6 3/4 inch,it has either a bone or ivory handle with black and red spaces.To any cutlers out there is it worth renovating it? would it cost a lot? or any other information on William Rodgers would be appreciated.Sp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Looks a lot like the sykes fairbairn comando dagger, I wouldn`t get too excited by the 400 DOLLAR tag on the other one,, it`s mint with the sheath etc, but deffinatey worth getting restored, I have a Puma White hunter that was found burried in a field that needs done, but I`ve not found anybody to do it yet.
