Richards Sheffield Pipe Knife Find

[MCJ]

I got a good deal on mine (used) on eBay, but certainly nowhere near as good as your $2 find! I also like the stag horn version of this knife -- very attractive, IMO.

A ebay seller had two store display cards of those with the silver, red, and black versions. He was selling them for $9.99 but I never did get one.

Yes, forgot to mention the Sportsman. I don't have one of those (at least yet), but it is a neat looking design. Now may have to add one of those to my shelf...

Yep

What happened? I'm dizzy. Was there a segue from pipe knives to lighters somethere?

Had to grab Rogers 4th Gen. Sucker for a new toy. Now Nimrod..

Got a Nimrod Sportsman. New construction, but who knows. 50s manufactured. Looking forward to it.

I just got a Richard’s pipe knife. Pretty cool. One side says, “Erinmore Tobacco” and the logo. The other side says, “Such Good Rich Flavour”.

Blade does wobble a bit. Has anyone found a way to tighten it? Put a little oil on the hinge, but it didn’t fix it.

I've got two of the Erinmore ones. They came in export tins as a buyer's premium.

Cool! What year were they from?

 

[doctorbob]

I would have bought them in 1993 in Bahrain or Abu Dhabi.

At least I think I did...

 

[Bassman65]

That’s cool. Thanks for the info .

My father passed away in 1980 when I was 5 years old. He was a knife collector and I have looked over the collection many times over the years.

I have recently gotten into pipe smoking and I began to have a recollection of a strange looking knife in his collection. Today, I had another look and found this same steel Richards Sheffield in excellent condition. It is a priceless find and one that I hope to use and cherish for many years to come.

Yah I just looked on eBay because monkey see monkey buy and they are NOT cheap including this one that is stratosphere high but then for all i know it's just what these go for.

Monkey see, monkey do, except i paid 10x what you did, that being said $20 seems like a good deal for a mint pipe knife.

 

[hall222]

Nothing like a flea market find!

 

[Honkytonk Man]

@didimauw, your post made me look into the Rodgers tools. I snagged one similar to yours for 10x the price you paid. I’m satisfied I think…️
