For your consideration, you are viewing a fixed-blade knife called a Scottish Sgian-Dubh, (Gaelic for "black knife") anglicized as Skene-Dhu and is pronounced "Skin Doo". This is an early piece from J. Nowill & Sons LTD of Sheffield England.
This is a specific style of small single-edged knife, worn as part of traditional Scottish Highland dress, tucked into the top of the kilt hose/sock on the calf of the leg with only the handle showing.
The knife features single edge pointed blade with file work on the spine and branding etched on the blade face which reads J Nowill & Sons Ltd SKEAN DHU inside a scroll, - SHEFFIELD Gt BRITAIN. it has an aluminium spacer and a crown stag handle with a silver butt pommel cap. The sheath has an embossed silver metal Scotch thistle and Celtic design on the throat and tip with a black leather body.
#J NOWILL & SONS: The firm can be traced back to 1700 when a D* mark was granted to Thomas Nowill. When Thomas passed away in 1808 this mark passed to his younger brother, William. In 1879 it was the home of cutlery manufacturer Henry Nowill who built the house for himself and his family, and right next door, at number 49, lived his brother Thomas Mathias Nowill. From these two separate companies came Nowill & Kippax and John Nowill & Sons. Their bowie knives were still being made under the Nowill name well into the 1960s, and eventually, the Nowill and Hopkinson name was acquired by Jack Adams, who has kept these world-famous names alive.
