Joseph Rodgers had an unsurpassed reputation for knife making in the 19th century. The Star and Maltese cross were granted to Rodgers by the Company in 1764 and both he and later his sons continued to produce quality knives throughout the Victorian era at various premises in Sheffield including the world famous 6 Norfolk Street. Due to the high quality of their work Rodgers & Sons were awarded Royal Warrants. This is an excellent Victorian Spear Point Bowie Knife by Rodgers made at their 6 Norfolk Street Sheffield premises. It measures 9 ¾” overall with a 5” spear point Bowie blade which is sharp and has just light staining consistent with age.
