I also have an old pearlite Sheffield penknife made by John Watts in Sheffield. It was actually "new old stock" when I got it, and it's never been carried. If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably 80's or maybe a little older, as it has a swedge on the main blade, which seems to be one of the first things the Sheffield companies started knocking on the head for cost saving (though I could be wrong). The box is quite old in style too.Cheers Al, I like the H02 as well but it never gets carried these days as prefer the congress pattern as works for my needs, would love to see pics of the John watts mate The knife and the box it came in, with a 91mm Swiss knife for size reference. Separate pic showing manufacturer on box, and fancy backspring No, you can't have it
