IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT in PENKNIVES.
—The usual manner of manufacturing Penknife Blades has
long been a subject of complaint. The edge is made too steep and
the angle too obtuse; the consequence is that the edge in cutting is
sometimes unmanageable, and driven into the quill nearly across.
This inconvenience almost every person in the habit of making pens
has frequently experienced. To obviate this entirely, T. CLARK,
of Exeter 'Change, has introduced a Penknife Blade, manufactured
entirely on a new principle ; the line of the edge being parallel
with the aide of the blade, forms a very acute angle : the instru-
ment therefore,even in inexperienced hands, may be easily governed;
no cutting but what is intended can take place, and the Pen is
formed with the greatest nicety and the utmost facility. The blade
of this Penknife is beautiful in workmanship, and cin be recom-
mended with confidence, as superior to any article previously in-
troduced into this branch of Cutlery. Also can be used with the
right or left hand. The blades are made from refined silver steel.
