Precision Forged, Purpose Built – An English Blade with History

You don’t come across pieces like this every day. The Malcberry 1897 Skinner Knife by Stuart Mitchell —it’s a rare slice of Sheffield’s steelmaking legacy. With a hand-forged blade by Stuart Truelove and finished by Stuart Mitchell (Senior) of Pat Mitchell Knives, this knife has roots that reach deep into the traditions of English bladecraft.

The carbon steel blade was forged from a limited stock said to date back to 1897—a detail that adds historical weight as well as performance credibility. Measuring 4 inches, the blade bears a high-polish finish and is stamped MALCBERRY '1897' ENGLAND. The ricasso reads TRUELOVE HAND FORGED—a stamp that commands respect.

Split stag antler slabs make up the handle, secured with three brass centre pins and complemented by a brass finger guard. It’s rugged, but elegant. The kind of knife that feels balanced in the hand, yet still looks the part when displayed.

Paired with its original heavy-duty black leather sheath—featuring two retention straps—this knife is ready for the field or the collection case. Whether you're a serious collector or a user who values heritage in their gear, this is a knife that speaks your language.
