Great Eastern Northfield UN-X-LD 1095 - #41 Town Physician - Antique Yellow Jigged Bone

1095 Slipjoint with Jigged Bone Handles

The Town Physician is a modern take on the classic Doctor's Knife pattern, designed for collectors and enthusiasts of traditional American cutlery. Great Eastern Cutlery builds these knives in the USA using time-honored methods and high-quality materials. The #41 features a unique blade combination of spear and wharncliffe styles, offering versatility for both utility tasks and display.

Blade

The 2.7" blade uses 1095 high-carbon steel with a satin finish. 1095 is favored for its toughness and ability to take a keen edge, though it will patina and rust without proper care. The spear point offers good piercing ability while the wharncliffe section provides excellent control for detail work. The satin finish helps protect against corrosion.

Handle

Antique yellow jigged bone scales provide a classic look with excellent grip. Bone handles develop a beautiful patina over time and are favored by traditional knife users. The slipjoint mechanism opens the blade with a satisfying spring and locks it securely open.

Carry

At 3.625" closed and just 2.5oz, this knife carries easily in a pocket. The slipjoint design has no safety mechanisms - the blade opens with moderate pressure and closes by hand. The traditional design makes it ideal for collectors and those who appreciate historical patterns.

Made in the USA.
