Stag Folding Bowie Knife

Rarely Seen, highly collectable Folding Hunting Knife with Stag and Brass Handles.

This German style folding bowie knife probably dates to the early 1900's the over all length closed is 6 1/2 inches, 9 and 3/4 inches fully open. The blade length up to the hilt is 5 3/4 inches. The knife has a fixed brass two piece, slightly recurved cross guard, antler scales that are riveted in place using 4 steel rivets. The blade locks both open and closed with the use of the "flip over" lever lock.

The exposed part of the folded blade is made safe with the clip on blade hood. Made from brass with a sprung steel clip that clips onto the heel of the knife handle for a strong and secure hold. The blade hood as with the rest of the knife has wear marks commensurate with its age, which includes an incredibly impressive patina.

This is a Pre-owned knife and shows signs of use and sharpening to the blade.
