Estate Sale Find - Korium Japan

Post by 69gto »

Greetings! While estate sale hunting this weekend, I bought this interesting looking fixed blade knife among a large lot of folders. The shank measures 9-3/4" and the mark is KORIUM JAPAN. It looks like it has bone slabs, brass rivets, and alloy bolster/tang/eagle head butt. The etching is in Japanese, and the blade needs a good cleaning (any suggestions?), but the motif is of hunting with a picture of wilderness and a buck. Anyone ever seen one of these, know anything about it, value? Thanks much for your input!

I have one of these. I think they were made during the 1950`s-1970`s.

Do you have a sheath with it?
