Kinfolks Bowie WWII Survival Knife & Sheath

A WWII era survival knife bowie and sheath by Kinfolks, USA. This is a knife resembling a Western W49 or Case XX bowie, but somewhat better made than either. The guard has a solid brass black between the blade and the grip. The grip is highly polished black wood that entirely encloses the tang. The pommel is pronounced somewhat like a mameluke sword. It has three rivets in it. The blade has two narrow fullers, and is stamped Kinfolks Inc. The sheath is smooth brown leather with a sewn welt on the reverse. Size: 14.5-inches long with a 9.5-inch blade. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $30.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Discounts given on combined lot shipping.

Provenance:JSQ

Condition:

Great. There is light staining on the blade, and it has been sharpened. The stamps are very clear. The sheath has a slight bend right at the tip, and there is verdigris on the brass guard. Please see photos.
