Engraved Doctor's Knives

"I've had a love affair with pocket knives since I was a boy. My father would just as soon leave home without his trousers as without his pocket knife. My Grandfathers carried pocket knives...and their fathers before them. I remember "whittling lessons" with my Grandfather under the shade trees on the court house lawn where people took pride in their pocket knives. " Colonel Littleton

Year engraved on the bolster

Featuring a long, slender blade which was designed for cutting pills in half, cutting bandages, opening boxes and any other task that might arise during a house call. The second blade is flat and unsharpened. Used as a letter opener by most today, but was originally used like a spatula for counting out pills and mixing salves and other compounds. The solid, flat end of the bolster was used for pulverizing pills.
