Better off asking your question here British Blades :: Custom Knife Making post a photo in the Oriental and Historical section if you can. Sounds like an interesting knife by the way, Id be interested to see pics myself :)
Abrams Brooksbank was in business from 1849 to 1953
The firm was on Milton street, Sheffield England! They manufactured Bowie knives and other cutlery!
I would love to see a picture! I am betting its a bowie type knife from the latter half of the 1800's!
HERE IS A PIC OF THE KNIFE.
KNIFE AND SHEATH
almost looks like a old bayonet:hmmm: it got to be good steel since its from sheffield i would hone it and shave with that bad boy
World war 1 would be my guess, but truly, I have no idea!
Hmmm... the ultimate double-sided wedge shaver!
