A gorgeous, unusual antique or true vintage silver brooch, in the form of a Canary Knife ("Cuchillo Canario",) complete with an ornate inlaid geometric striped handle.

Traditionally used in agriculture on Gran Canaria, the Canary knife has been a well-known symbol of status in the Canary Islands from at least the 1940s.

This is a wonderful example of the knives in miniature, and would make a fantastic addition to a novelty jewellery collection.

There are no stamps, but this piece has been tested for silver.

In really nice vintage condition. The inlaid handle is in superb order. Please see all of the photos.

Approximate Measurements:
Length - 3.8cm
