I am listing some knives which I recently acquired in a small collection. There are some very average knives and some really nice knives. There are some really unusual knives. Most are not pricey and I will try to offer them reasonably priced. Please keep in mind that Priority Mailing cost is included in each amount. #32 TOTAL NUMBER OF KNIVES : 1
MAKER : Kutmaster
PATTERN : Rope knife, USCG - 796.
CLOSED LENGTH : 4 1/4 inches long.
HANDLES : Wood and I believe it is cocobolo. There is a tight pin crack on the front side at the left or lower pin.
TANG STAMPS : The tang is stamped APPROVED (over) USCG (over) 1944-796 (over) KUTMASTER (over) UTICA, NY USA. CONDITION : This is a knife that I like to refer to as one with character. It reflects use and sharpening, though I estimate not much sharpening. There is a dark patina on the blade and some staining. The steel bolsters are darkly stained and have some pitting. Liners are brass.
DAMAGE : Aside from the pin crack mentioned above, no damage is noted. AGE : 1944
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN : USA
BLADE WEAR : Minimal.
SHIELD AND BLADE ETCH : This knife has neither shield nor etch.
SNAP : Excellent, opening and closing and with a strong half stop. ADDITIONAL INFO : This is a fine old knife that is illustrated on page 104 of Silvey's book "Pocket Knives of the United States Military". I will deliver it to you in the USA by Priority Mail for $75.00.
Insurance is optional with the buyer and is recommended.
