Daniel Keown - Sheffield Exhibition Knife
Presenting a stunning Sheffield-style Exhibition Multi-Blade Folder crafted by the exceptionally talented Daniel Keown of Keown Fine Folders. This masterwork features six meticulously executed blades and implements: a spear-point master blade, two pen blades, precision scissors, a file, and a corkscrew—each rendered in CPM-154 steel with a flawless hand-rubbed satin finish.
The knife is dressed in Antique Amber scales adorned with a 24k gold-leaf shield, complemented by 14k gold pins and a gold spring for the scissors, adding true luxury to its traditional design.
Inspired by an original example featured in Sheffield Exhibition Knives (pictured in the final photo), this piece captures the spirit of classic exhibition craftsmanship while showcasing modern precision.
Direct from the maker and in brand-new condition, this is the very knife that won the Best Folder Award at the 2025 Blade Show—an extraordinary opportunity for collectors to acquire an award-winning masterpiece.
