Picked up these two in a antique come junk shop in Leominster last week whilst in docklow pools for the week, the classic Richard’s of Sheffield and a cheap Wilkinson camp knife.

The Richard’s penknife takes me back to my youth in the 70’s,the scales on it are .
Great finds

It's the classic card knife mate isn't it on a lot of shop counters back then along side the very small one Richards did.

It's the same everywhere if it faded I think there would of been at least a little left along one edge so I recon it's the original colour mate. I suspect it's been in a dark draw somewhere for 50 years or more

From back in the days when carrying a knife to school was normal and legal.
