To the opposite page, Nos. And Prices and type of case are given. Recased in the original limp cloth covered covers with recent matching cloth spine. A very good copy. The company was founded round about 1867 and carried on to the mid-1920s, and the business was then absorbed by John Blyde, Greenhough died in 1914. A characteristic feature of some Greenhough pocket knives was the way in which the nail mark extended through the tang. Greenhough knives always appear to have been stylish and well-made.
