Handmade by Joseph Marples Ltd in Sheffield, this traditional hafted marking knife made of carbon steel ground with a single right bevel. It is not unusual to see old ones that have been re-shaped by the owner for a specific task or to suit their preference. The blade, secured with a pair of solid brass rivets, extends well within the rosewood handle which has been neatly finished with chamfered edges all round.
