-
The Sheath: The standout feature of this listing. The leather sheath is in very good condition, showing no structural damage. It includes the original sharpening stone in the pocket.
-
The Knife: The blade is solid, but the handle requires attention. The stacked leather washers have dried out and shrunk over time. As a result, there is play in the crossguard (it is slightly loose/wobbly).
-
Note: This is a common issue with vintage leather handles. It can often be improved with proper leather treatment (soaking in oil/wax) or re-stacking, making this an ideal project for enthusiasts.
