Antique J Rodgers Sheffield England Fleam Bleeder Bloodletting Tool Knife

Description

This is an
Antique J Rodgers Sheffield England Fleam Bleeder Bloodletting Tool Knife
Overall good condition. General wear from use. The handle reminds me of bone because of its hollow sound when tapped on and lightness in weight. It has a fibrous appearance although it is black and does not appear to be bone. You can see nice wear from being held in hand since it is not quite as fibrous but more smooth near the handle end where one would hold it. The blade does have scratching, nicks, scuffing and discoloration in spots. The one side of the blade has a star and cross mark. The opposite side of the blade is marked J. Rodgers & Sons. S Norfolk St Sheffield England. The entire piece measures approx 6" in length. The metal portion is approx 2 1/4" in length.
