MODERATORS: Please remove this listing. Thanks!

First is from mainland China. A friend adopted 2 little girls from a deep inland rural area and brought this back. Probably bone. Guards are (intentionally?) loose but fit very well. The craftsmanship speaks for itself. The blade is 5 1/4" and OAL is 9 1/4"

The second is from Mexico with an engraved blade. I was told that besides the graphic, the writing is supposed to be about how "it" gets less hard when you get old, and I don't mean life itself. Leather ringed handle with an Eagle pommel. 28" OAL, 22 1/2" blade.

$150 each OBO (would also trade both for Large Sebenza or SMF/SMG Strider plus cash)
Thanks,

Do you know what the sheath and handle are made of on the China knife ?

Hi,
It looks like the same material as the blade except differently colored. I really don't know if it's ivory, but that's been the guess of others who have handled the knife who had an opinion different than it being bone.
