CaptC Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 I’m sure a blade collector can correct me but I’m led to believe this is an Israeli Commando Bowie knife. The blade has been polished, it would originally have been blacked. Stacked cork handle, Star of David on the ricasso. Tiny bit of ex rust on the spine. Blade 7” loa 12”. Edge is perfect. The sheath is in excellent condition. Comes with a carpy Whitby made in Germany “boys” knife. Condition poor but restorable. Plastic handle, blade 5.5” loa 9.5”. Sheath damaged £65 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
