Russell Green River 13.5" Bullnose Butcher Knife Carbon Steel Pewter Rosewood 1890s-1920s

Antique Russell Green River XL 13.5" bullnose butcher knife with forged carbon steel blade, cast pewter (most likely Brittania lead free alloy) and rosewood handle. 

This knife had been sharpened in enough to have a thick blade behind the edge and had some unsightly fugs from some dumb bench grinder sharpening on the sides of the blade. In the process of removing these and thinning the blade behind the edge the cursive Russell Green River Works markings were lost. It is however ready to get back to work with a nice convex faced sharp edged blade that is nice and straight.
