Thread: Please help ID this knife.

I received this knife from a Swedish dealer. Please help with the identification.

Thanks,

Rob

It looks like an antique circumcision knife.

.

I'm thinking a page turner.

Correct.

It is a paper knife, for folding and cutting paper.

Used for folding letters.

Also for cutting the pages of new books.

There is other discussion of these, with pictures, in the archive.

BRL...

Wow! Thanks for the quick responses.

I am the webmaster of CircCentral, which "tltt" cited above:

The reason I posted this knife is because it resembled a
circumcision knife at first, but upon closer inspection it didn't seem to
be one.

I appreciate all of the responses.
