I have an original Sheffield knife that I found in a junk bin of a collectable store for $9. It is pinned with six pins. You still have a good knife, though.

My current patch knife is such. I was in an antique store one day and saw a piece of antler sticking out of a piece of leather in a glass case. I asked the lady what it was and she said "I could take a look, it was open." What I found was a straight razor with an antler handle. It had a tag saying $7.00. I was afraid that was a mistake and asked "$7.00?" She replyed "Ok, I'll take $4.00." Anyway, I have no idea as to the age of thing except that it sure wasn't born any time in the recent past. It sure makes for a dandy patch knife.
