Here's a couple of old ones, with the W. German hunter from probably the late 50's, and a puuko that I really have no idea as to age, although it has a TON of character. Prices include USPS shipping, and paypal only for now. I can probably do better pics when my tablet decides to cooperate.
Old Puuko: Helle made, and marked "Holmedal" on blade along with some other lettering that I can't make out. Knife is 7.75 OAL with a blade length of about 3.75. Blade does have wear and usage given it's age. Handle is bone bolster and butt with a stacked leather handle and a brass stud on the pommel. Leather is in pretty good condition with the bolster and washers tight, but there is some "wiggle" on the butt. Sheath is well worn with "Fjellkniven" and some floral carving on it as well. Price is SOLD
Circa 1950's integral guide style knife: About 9" OAL, and about a 4.25" blade measured from the front of the integral bolster. Knife is marked Guide Knife, hammerforged, high carbon steel on the side of the blade, with Solingen Germany closer to the ricasso. Handle appears to be stag and is still rock solid with no cracks and brass pins holding it onto a tapered tang. Sheath is a traditional pattern out of green leather and is worn with some loose stitching between the belt loop and sheath body. It's definitely been used but appears to be pretty lightly sharpened, but then again it's probably 50??? years old. Price is SOLD
Thanks!
