This Georgian Rosewood Handled Sheffield Steel Quill Cutter/Shaper, dating to around 1820, is a fine example of early 19th-century craftsmanship.

Designed for precision, this tool was used to shape and cut quill pens, the primary writing instrument of the period.

The blade is forged from high-quality Sheffield steel, a hallmark of superior British metalwork, while the handle is made from rich, polished rosewood, adding a touch of elegance.

Quill cutters like this were essential for writing and would have been a prized personal tool. Its Georgian origin and refined materials make it a valuable addition for collectors of antique writing instruments or Georgian-era artifacts.
