**VERY RARE**FORERUNNER OF THE MODERN SURVIVAL KNIFE**Colonel Baldock 1902 Patent All Steel Construction Survival ‘Knife Spear’ By James Dixon & Sons Sheffield For Walter Locke & Co London With Scabbard**FROM THE DAVID HAYDEN-WRIGHT COLLECTION** Sn 20815 - 20815 Developed by Colonel Baldock of the Merwara Battalion of Queen Victoria's Indian Army in the 1870s and patented by him in 1902, this is the forerunner of all modern day Combat/Fighting/Survival Knives. With an inspired development Colonel Baldock introduced this all steel fearsome knife which easily converts to a spear with the attachment of any handy wood pole or branch that might be found in the field. Before his death in 2006 David Hayden-Wright was a renowned collector of English knives and edged weapons, his many years of experience led him to write his famous collector's bible 'The Heritage of English Knives' which contains 100's of quality descriptions and illustrations of knives and edged weapons. This is an excellent original example of the Baldock Patent Knife Spear and is from the renowned collector & author David Hayden-Wright’s preeminent collection of antique knives. This knife is illustrated and described on page 228 of Hayden-Wright’s book ‘The Heritage Of English Knives’ (the illustration of this Bowie from his book is reproduced in image 1). The hilt is all Steel with a floating knurled collar that, when secured in the rear position, will lock onto any wood shaft pushed into the hollow adjustable tubular hilt by means of internal securing spikes. The hilt is fitted with its original wood tompion. The locking mechanism resembles that of the old muzzle loading socket bayonet attachment. British Gunsmiths Walter Locke & Co 391 Strand, London C1892-C1920 were primarily known as the outlet for Baldock Knife Spears (see page 99 & 100 of The London Knife Book By Flook. Page 99 of the book shows an image of the Baldock Knife Spear & Scabbard). These rare knives are sometimes found with the Baldock and Walter Locke names or with a licensed manufacturer name on the blade, however it is very rare to find examples with Baldock, Walter Locke & Co and a manufacturer name all on one blade. It has the correct all steel hollow hilt with floating collar and wood tompion which works correctly, a small oval brass finger guard and measures 14 ½”overall. The 9 ½” spear point blade has fullers and a deep 4 ½” saw back section on the back edge. The blade is faintly marked ‘Baldock Knife Spear Made Expressly For Walter Locke & Co Ltd Patented’ and with the rare to find additional licensed manufacturer’s name ‘James Dixon & Sons, Sheffield, England’ (all difficult to photograph but illustrated as best we can in the images). The knife is complete with its original brown leather covered wood scabbard which has German Silver throat mount with frog locket and chape. All leather & stitching are clean & intact. The price for this very rare survival knife with scabbard includes UK delivery. Sn 20815 £1,975.00 |
