A Wonderful Penknife.

Perhaps the most wonderful specimen of cutler’s craft In the world is the knife to be seen in the showrooms of Joseph Rogers & Sons, Sheffield, Eng. This extraordinary knife is provided with one blade for every year since the commencement of the Christian era, the number of blades now, of course, being 1,805. Blades are inserted five at a time at the lapse of every five years.
