Handsome White Tail Cutlery folding bowie knife with brass mounts, in a black leather sheath. The White Tail mark and logo are on the forte of the blade. The blade has the letters INOX stamped on the ricasso. The knife has wooden grips, a push-lever release, and a brass folding cross guard. Size: 12 1/2 inches long overall, with a 7 3/4 inch blade. Older, probably Sheffield made folding bowie knife, with German silver mounts, and very nice stag grips with an escutcheon plate on them that is engraved with the letters LW. The lock is on the tang, and is rectangular, somewhat more pronounced than usually seen. The knife is in a Buck black leather holster sheath, although the knife is definitely not by Buck, and is certainly either Sheffield or Solingen. Size: 11 1/2 inches long overall, with a 7 inch blade. Unmarked probably Solingen made older folding bowie knife with stag grips, brass mounts, in a modern leather sheath. It has a push-lever lock. Size: 12 inches long with a 7 1/2 inch blade. Unusual white plastic gripped folding bowie knife with brass mounts, and a heavier than usual blade. The release is a long brass lever that folds through the guard. It is in a black leather sheath showing some age. Size: 11 5/8 inches long with a 7 1/8 inch blade. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition

All four knives show signs of use. The probably Sheffield made knife has a blunted point, and signs of old pitting on the blade. Two of the knives have some red rust on the blades, but the other is excellent. The last knife's sheath has separated at the belt loop.
