A duo of incredibly robust jack-knives from Sheffield; A. Wright & Son Farmer's Sheepfoots in Ebony.

Salutations, Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, I'll be discussing a pair of beautiful jack-knives by Arthur Wright & Son of Sheffield. Back in December, we ordered a knife for my Father that subsequently got lost in the mail. The seller, (who is an absolute Gent, by the way) sent us a replacement just over a week ago. Miraculously, the new knife arrived on exactly the same day as the one that had gotten lost in the post! We eventually decided to just pay for the two knives instead of having to ship one back, thus resulting in my Father now having two (nearly) identical knives. The knives in question are A. Wright (Farmer's) Sheep(s)foots in Ebony wood. This brings my Dad's Sheepfoot collection up to three, and I now fear he may desire more! 'Tis concerning, as having one collector in the family is bad enough, but two?! 😅 Regardless, the knives were excellent, especially for the price. I must say, Wright's been on a steady upward climb for a while now, and I sincerely hope that can continue! Farmer's Sheepfoot: C70 carbon steel (Sheepfoot) blade and spring. Brass liners and pins. Nickel-silver bolsters. Ebony wood handles. 8-9/9-10 on the level of pull...these are really snappy! Overall, the quality-to-price ratio is outstanding, as usual. A. Wright may very well become the go-to Sheffield knifemaker for those desiring quality at a fair cost.
