Summary: a very early and unique Jimmy Lile paring / utility knife with the single line / single word "Lile" script signature. The knife probably dates to the late 60's, very early in Jimmy's career. The blade is 2-3/4" long -- overall length of the knife is 6-1/8". The blade is perfect -- unused with original edges. Light tarnish / wipe marks on the brass hilt and 2 piece Loveless style brass pins -- the stag slabs are quite thick for such a small knife.

The knife is paired to the original belt sheath -- unmarked and I'm not sure who made it. (maybe John Lamb) A small piece of the leather torn away at the throat -- the sheath fits the knife like a glove, nice and snug.

9 photos for review -- as shown, a new black carry case is included for storage. This is the only knife like this I've seen or owned -- from the collection of the late Tom Clinton, a rare and very unique piece. Thanks and good luck.
