5160 Camp Knives

[WalterDavis]

I've got a couple of 5160 Bowie-style camp knives up for sale. Both are convex ground, 1/4" thick

The first is 11 3/8" overall, 6 3/8" tip to scales, with curly maple handle scales and brass pins. It has a buffed satin finish, shiny but not taken to a mirror polish. $125 without a sheath.SPF





The second is 14 1/4" overall, 9 3/16" tip to scales. It has a rough satin finish that has been cold blued. The swedge is nowhere near sharpened, just ground in enough to get the lines right but not thin enough to tear up a baton. I believe the handle scales are paper micarta, though I may be wrong. They didn't work like canvas or linen micarta and they look more solid, less layered, and may be some solid black packawood? $150 $135SPF with a black leather sheath included( see pics in post 5).








I strongly prefer PayPal on these, though I will consider a USPS (only!) money order. Please contact me prior to posting an "I'll take it" if you you wish to pay with a M.O. as I'm out of town more often than I'm around.
U.S. only, please!

Thanks for looking, your comments are always welcome!

Nice ones Walt! That first one was a SNAG and a half!!! The second looks like a great camp chopper! Guys, Walt's knives are very well made and his sheaths, while not Rowe quality are VERY functional and well made/stout. He's a great guy to deal with and his prices are killer! His knives will serve you for a VERY long time, I have one of his earlier knives and it holds and edge like a champ while being very easy to sharpen!

Thanks for the good words, guys! I went ahead and made a large pouch-style sheath for the remaining camp knife, and shot a couple more pics.
