A little jewel

Well another year rolls by and for my birthday Jan has bought me a pocket knife. Not your run of the mill pocket knife. This is hand made my Trevor Ablett, one of the last of Sheffield Little Mesters. 68 years old, he has been making knives since he was 15. He still makes around a hundred knives a month of various designs.It was ordered in December and arrived in March, such was the backlog of orders since he appaered in the national press. I chose this beauty, a clip point blade, with double brass bolsters and a rosewood handle. It will outlive me!
