first up is a Waltco Saf-T- Sheath fishing knife "Made in USA".
This version has red inserts, mirror blade, and fish scaler along the spine. Used but in great condition for it's age. See pics for details of wear. Blade is razor sharp, however has some light scratches on one side from Gawd knows what... Firmly stamped on the blade is "WALTCO SAF-T-SHEATH", and the tang is stamped "MADE IN USA". A real must for the balisong enthusiast with a tackle box. $sold conus

next is an old balisong I don't know much about. The spine is engraved "LEO E. CERVAIS 1946" the inserts are some type of early plastic, and the blade is high carbon steel with a dark patina and twisty tweak on the tip... (seen in the last pic grrrr.) The sheath appears to be exclusive to this knife, and made from brown leather. The tang pin is present however no longer serving any function due to the loosnes of the knife. A fine example of balisong history and great conversation piece if nothing else. Sorry folks but this bali's flipping days are over... $45 conus $40?

Ill take the waltco pending on what the inserts are made of. I know its an older knife and if there made of celluloid then i dont want it. Otherwise ill take it.

Click to expand...

no idea on the material. plastic like, no shrinkage, still vivid... I guess it could be celuloid. It is about 40+ years old from what I hear... Let me know what you want to do sir. Thanks for your interest. :)
 
BTTT

Mike, i'll ship her to you if you want to look the inserts over, then decide, no obligation of course. Just drop her back in the mail if you don't want it... Let me know. Until then, both still available. :thumbup:
