Jonathan Hunt Interchangeable Blade Sheffield Set
Something new. Jonathan Hunt 1829-37. I think he was in the Lummus article. I'm very happy with the condition of this, only one pen knife has been snapped off the rest is pretty much all there and working. I'll make a video when I have time, I don't think anyone has documented the sheffield mechanism on youtube.

Forgot to mention that these are the most exquisitely ground blades from this period I have ever seen by a large margin.

Very nice. I ordered a similar Wade & Butcher set last year on eBay and it arrived in pieces! I also did some work on a 7 day set for a friend a few months ago(Joseph Rodgers I think). They were also beautifully ground. If you're going to hone them up be sure to really examin the way that the blades sit in the case. A little worn wood and the bevels can rub on the bottom. I've never seen one with the knives before. That's pretty sweet.
