okay i was going through my dads possessions ( he passed away last month)
and i came across this double edged knife . on the blade it is listed as a
CORSAN DENTON BURDEKIN & Co. its over 10 inches in length and has a silver
endpiece and tang. and the handle is ivory??maybe or mother of pearl. i cannot tell the difference i guess but my wife says its pearl. i looked it up on the internet and found very little about this particular knife. also included was a imperial 10 inch black stag handled hunting knife. in the bottom of the box..i looked it up and its a 1950s knife and worth a few dollars but its made of that old metal that you have to sharpen with the bottom of a coffee mug and it hold a razor sharp edge...
so my question is whats the deal with the corsan denton burdekin blade. its also razor sharp double edged blade and looks like whoever had it took care of it .. anyone have any ideas about where it was made , when and if its worth anything? id take a picture of it but my computer skills are quite limited to typing in words and clicking on the send button
