This penknife is primarily made from gunmetal and is considerably heavier than most penknives of this period. The gunmetal has then been decorated with gilt shibyama work.

The penknife has two good blades with a suspension loop. The penknife measures 74mm inc suspension loop x 18mm wide x 5mm deep and is in 99% mint condition – a superb piece.
