The Classic “Gambler’s Companion” – James Rodgers Sheffield Knife-Pistol
One of the most iconic underhammer knife-pistols of the California Gold Rush and Victorian underworld. Made by the legendary Sheffield cutler James Rodgers (no relation to Joseph Rodgers), these were carried by riverboat gamblers, gold prospectors, and gentlemen who preferred their protection discreetly concealed.
This example is 100% original and untouched – exactly the way collectors want them. The German silver escutcheon is still crisp, the bone grips have never been replaced, and the folding trigger works (although the mainspring needs replacement). Perfect for the advanced percussion or gambler’s arms collection.

Don’t miss this untouched James Rodgers knife-pistol – the quintessential Gold Rush hideout weapon, exactly as it left Sheffield 170 years ago. Click “Buy It Now” or call 478-337-1000 to own this legendary piece today!
