Spanish Ceremonial Dagger 7 inch Blade & 4 3/4 inch blade & Small Sheffield Scout Knife
Vintage Knife Trio: British Scout, Spanish Dagger, and Toledo-Style Ornate Blade
A Practical Slice of History
This vintage knife trio is a story you can hold in your hand. Whether you’re a seasoned blade enthusiast or just getting started, this set delivers character, craftsmanship, and undeniable appeal.
Let’s start with the British scout knife. If you grew up in mid-century Britain, chances are this knife played a role in your early years. Sturdy, simple, and built for use—not for show. Its 3-inch full tang blade wears stacked leather effect scales. This one has seen some honest work, and the patina proves it. It’s not polished to perfection, but it wasn’t meant to be. That’s part of its charm.
The second knife in the set is a 7-inch ceremonial-style dagger, likely crafted in Spain during the mid to late 1900s. With wire-wrapped grip, black turned handle, and brass furniture, it’s more than just decorative. The blade carries light tarnish—nothing heavy, just the kind of honest aging you want to see on a piece with provenance. It comes with its original leather sheath, capped and decorated.
Lastly, the Toledo-style knife completes the trio. A 4 ¾ inch blade, decked out in ornate brassed fittings and shimmering opal-like scales. While the blade shows only faint marks, the detail work is intricate, and the word "Toledo" stamped on the steel speaks to its heritage. Like the dagger, it comes with a capped, tooled leather sheath.
