Hello, Does anyone know the correct use for these handles & blades. I have found them before with well worn blades  & grimy handles, so I assumed they were used for leather work, or some other trade. The box is marked Dexter The Right Knife  Russell Harrington Cutlery . Thanks, Lou

I always called them mill knives (used in textile mills to cut cloth, thread, yarn, etc.).  Sellens calls them cloth knives, a tailor's shop tool.  They are handy for a lot of trade though.  I have never kept one in my stock very long.
