About MeSet of three knives with stained green ivory handles, silver ferrule and steel blades. One of the knives carries a crest and the motto of Wallace - Sperandum Est. The blades are probably new having been added to old handles. This was quite a common practice as soft steel blades soon worn down by constant sharpening.
