    Description

    The British Royal Navy still ruled the seas in the early 1900s, and placed a nearly impenetrable blockade on Germany during WW1. They defeated the German high seas fleet in such widely separated duels as the Battle of the Falklands and the Battle of Jutland. British Royal Navy "jack tars" were issued beautifully made stag handle "jack knives" for rigging and other shipboard tasks, and these were crafted by some of Sheffield's finest cutlers. This British Royal Navy WW1 T. TURNER STAG HANDLE RIGGING KNIFE is in good condition, with some rounding to the main blade tip, some sharpening to the main blade edge, two very small chips in the bottom main blade edge, some scattered scratching, pitting, and patina to the main blade, some cleaning and pitting to the marlin spike and the bolsters, a hairline crack in the lower middle left handle scale around the rivet, and with some overall age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the knife is in fine shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it features a 3 1/4" sheepsfoot main blade, sports incredible mellow genuine stag handle scales with gorgeous natural darkening and stippling, and is stamped at the ricasso of the main blade with its maker, the famous "ENCORE / T. TURNER & CO / BEST STEEL". It dates to the turn of the 20th century, boasts a sturdy marlin spike and a thick brass hanging bale at bottom, and measures nearly 5" long overall when closed. A fine example of a very rare, original British Royal Navy WW1 T. TURNER STAG HANDLE RIGGING KNIFE. No case included.
