ATH#240151
Vintage
Hand-Made All Metal
Hunting Knife
12 ½” Long
7 ½” Carbon Steel, Drop-Point blade
The handle is solid aluminum. I am
guessing that the craftsman (probably from Germany) made a handle-mold and
filled it with melted aluminum and placed steel the blade into the molten
aluminum – using a jig to keep the knife in proper alignment – then he used a
file to clean up and polish the handle.
And he did a GREAT JOB.
Nice solid feel – no wobble whatsoever.
Weighs 10.3 oz
NEVER USED – ORIGINAL EDGE
No finger guard – so if you are nto a collector but a user, figure
something out – even a big rubbber band wrapped around the handle a few times
might help to keep your finger from slipping onto the blade with a thrust (no
problem with a chop)
The sheath is Mint – probably much newer than the knife – but a perfect
fit (I think newer because there is no ‘shelf-wear” being shuffled around in a
drawer or opened and closed as part of showing off your collection – I bought
the collection of a “professional” knife collector – he ran some knife
collecting association)
it would slide perfectly over a 2 ½” wide belt.
