  The top folder is as I received it sans the brass ring I added so I could unlock the blade.  The bottom knife sports a complete replacement of the horn.  Enjoy!

This is one I picked up a few years back at a little antique store around here. It probably is late 19th century, but looks like some of the late 18th century Sheffield folders.
