WWII Clyde Cutlery USMC Bolo

[bigfoot815]

My grandpa let me have one of his knives today from his stash of them. I found out that this knife is a Clyde Cutlery World War 2 USMC Bolo knife. The sheath is leather and is stamped BOYT 42. I was wondering how much one of these knives would be worth, in the current condition (Not too good, handle broken and rust over the blade, along with a few nicks on the blade. See pics.)
Also, I was wondering how much this knife would be worth if I restored it (cleaning off the rust, fixing the edge, and replacing the handle.)

Sorry about pictures being sideways, for for some reason they got rotated

cant see the images, try taking them to a site like photobucket and routing it from there. congrats on the new knife though im sure itll be cherished. as to the price since you arent a platinum member or higher i do believe its not allowed.

They really aren't worth that much unless they are in super good condition.

I have one from my Dad and Father-in-Law.

There were five manufacturers.

Some say they are case hardened and can't be reground.

I reground one of them and have beat the heck out of it and it holds a mean edge.
