Physician's Pocket Knife - Vintage - Brand New - Pristine from 1996. Stag handle

Description: A physician's / doctor's knife is considered a multitool for doctors. The long spear blade can be used as an emergency scalpel or to cut pills, while the spatula blade can be used to mix salves and medicines or as a tongue depressor. The flattened bolster, also known as the pill crusher bolster, can be used to grind pills and other ingredients into powders. This is a beautiful pristine & untouched example of a Physician's/Doctor's pocket knife from AG Russell.Blade markings indicate 1996 as the date of manufacture.I have seen these in rougher used condition for 175.00 to 200.00. The exceptionally textured and fat natural antler scales allow for fine control of what really isa refined and delicate two tool pocket folder. Includes the original soft chamois pocket pouch. This folding form has also been occasionally used as a "Pipe Knife" by pipe smokers with the spatula being used as bowl scraper.....but a true "Pipe Knife" has a thicker spatula that can be used to carve out carbon from a briar or meerschaum bowl. This spatula is more delicate and thin and intended for finer work. Free shipping. Thanks for looking!
