Originally posted by mkgd1 I have one of these, it's not the original, made by Wilkinson Sword. It's a P3, post WWII productionI bought it around 1992 in new condition. It's made by J. Nowill and sons Sheffield, England. I think I paid $25 for it. They are still selling then but now about $150. The sad thing is, you cannot own such a knife in England now.
Lucky man. They have quite an interesting history how they came to exist.
It is interesting to see how things have changed over the years. I started carrying a little jack knife as we used to call them , when I was about 11 years old. Just used it for everyday things, never as a weapon and out here, back then many young boys carried a small jack knife as I did. I don't recall any incidents back then, but it was a different world.
