Schager knife with silver handle, 17th century.

Beautiful knife from the second half of the 17th ^century century. An original iron blade from Schagen (knife makers since the 16th ^century) century) set in a cast silver handle depicting motherly love.

The handle is hallmarked, possibly with the city hallmark of Amsterdam. See the photos for your own impression. The master hallmark is polished.

Most knives were made in Amsterdam at the time. Similar knife found in the book Eight Centuries of European Knives, Forks and Spoons by Klaus Marquardt (p. 107, image 330).
