I've just bought this knife from a dealer over the weekend, it's from a rather rare maker called Wingfield and Rowbotham in Sheffield. The firm operated between around 1750 and 1900. This knife is an early one.
If you examine the photos you will see how the ends of the springs and blades are flush when the knife is closed, real quality manufacture. There is one of these in the V&A.
