Three older folding bowie knives and sheaths: A Spanish made folding bowie knife with a cobra and other designs etched on the blade, stag grips, steel "S" shaped guard, in a brown leather sheath. German folding bowie knife with "Gebr. Grafrath Widdert" on the blade with no cross guard and a brown leather sheath (11.5-inches overall, and 8-inches when closed, 7-inch blade). Chinese made folding bowie knife with wide, spear point blade etched with dragon, steel cross guard, horn grips, marked, "GHUGKUC ISGOGCHIHN" on the ricasso. It has two blade releases: a button on the bolster to open it, and a button on the tang to close it (11.5-inches long when open, with a 7-inch blade, and 8-inches long when closed). Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Condition

Good. The Spanish knife has rust on the blade, and the grips are worn and dirty. The second knife's latch does not work, and it has a tiny piece missing at the point- less than 1/16th of an inch. The Chinese knife is great. Please see photos.
