Victorian Five-Implement Bartender's Knife
Pickup currently not available
This antique folding bartender's knife is fitted with five practical implements comprising a corkscrew, spear-point knife blade, capsule cutter, hooked implement and utility spike. Stamped D. & D. H. FRASER, it represents the specialised multi-function pocket tools used in the wine and hospitality trade during the late Victorian and early Edwardian period.
Constructed with metal scales and steel implements secured by traditional screw construction, the knife displays honest age-related wear consistent with over a century of use. The stamped blade provides an important point of identification, although the original manufacturer has not yet been conclusively identified. It is an appealing collector's piece for those interested in antique corkscrews, wine accessories and early folding pocket tools.
