A fine example of a WW1 / WW2 era seaman's utility folding jack knife with blade, opener and marlin spike.  The crosshatched grip is stamped "B4 * ANY" and "Sheffield, England".  The blade is stamped "John Watts, Sheffield, England" and the opener "Watts, Sheffield.  In good antique condition with blade and accessories tight with original belt loop intact..

"Watts" was apparently founded in West Bar Green, Sheffield, England in 1765 by Michael Shaw.  From 1833, Brian Bates (1802-1882) operated the business.  Twenty years later Bates was joined in partnership by John Watts (c.1829-1895). Wattss son, John Robert Watts (1859-1939) transformed the firm into a fully-fledged cutlery manufacturer, selling pen and pocket knives, razors, skates and clasps, and stampers and piercers.   By the First World War, Watts had acquired most of the courtyard workshops at the lower end of Lambert Street.  These included the premises of George Gill.  The firm also began buying up trade names, including the B4*ANY mark of Frederick Ward.  "Watts" manufactured a number of differing knives for the military during WW1 and WW2.

Size (fully open) : 27cm

Size (fully closed) : 12.5 cm
