Three Navaja style folding knives, comprising of: A large Navaja style folding knife with a “Rampur U.P.” marked blade and brass fittings. Rampur U.P.is a city in India’s Uttar Pradesh state. This style of knife was well-known as being favored by India’s home-grown organized crime. The style is distinctly European, though, and the brass mounts are marked with “Rampur U.P.” and British style crown. The blade is similarly stamped, with “Best Steel” on the ricasso (13.5-inches long when open and 9.75-inches long closed). A brass gripped Navaja style folding knife of classic Rampuri style, with fish shaped grip and spring assisted opening blade, unmarked (12-inches long overall, 6.5-inches long when closed). A Sheffield made folding bowie knife of Navaja style, with “No. 5 Sheffield Steel” visible on the ricasso, and partially obscured, “..gers & Sons” on the back of the blade, possibly Rogers & Sons. The grip is lucite and the mounts are brass. One bolster is missing, but the knife functions well. It is in a modern fine leather belt sheath (11-inches long when opened and 7-inches 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

The first two knives are excellent. The third knife is missing a bolster, the markings are partially rubbed off. Please see photos.
