Le couteau de marin sheffield

Ce canif était au bout de la fine cordelette blanche autour du col de chaque Matelot Britannique.

J'ai la version Grand Format. Etait il utilisé dans la RN ?

It's the clasp-knife, part of the compulsory kit of all
seamen ratings, not Writers or Stokers, as obtainable from the Clothing Store.

Your name was stamped on the flat side piece shown.

Early versions had a brass U shape ring, on later ones it was made from steel.

The one shown is the official issue clasp knife. The RN weren't issued a smaller version of the clasp knife.
Other smaller knives, privately purchased, may have been used though?

quelques photos supplémentaires (a noter l'absence d'ouvre-boite)
