4 folding sailor's knives, all with blades and marlin spikes, as follows:
A British folding sailor's knife made by M.M. Slater of Birmingham, with black scales. Blade has been extensively sharpened, and the knife is dirty.
Another British sailor's knife, by M.S. Ltd. XX, the large blade having been heavily sharpened. The bolster loop has a nicely braided sailor's knotwork lanyard, good condition.
Another British sailor's knife by the same maker, but only the XX is still readable. The blade is extensively sharpened, and the tip has been crudely rounded, overall good plus.
An excellent Schrade and Walden sailor's knife with single blade and marlin spike, with an unusual device for locking the marlin spike in position.
Also, an unusual probably Spanish made knife with a strongly curving blade, VG+
Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $ 25.00 plus 1.5% replacement and insurance. Please note we do not accept credit cards.
As described. The earlier, British knives show signs of hard use. The Schrade and Walden is excellent. The Spanish knife is very good and better.
