Part of Farm, Equestrian and Household Personal Property Auction! (timed auction by Linkous Auction Group)

High bid $55.00

Status: Sold

Offered is a pair of vintage knives, each accompanied by its original leather sheath, blending practical utility with collectible character. The first is a classic folding pocket knife with a polished wooden handle, metal bolsters and dual blades that open smoothly; its smaller companion sheath is light brown leather with contrast white stitching. The second is a stout fixed‑blade hunting knife with an antler‑style handle, a pronounced clip point blade engraved “BUFFALO SKINNER” and marked “S.F.S. 5183,” sheathed in a larger curved leather scabbard decorated with an embossed deer head and secured with rivets and a snap strap. The fixed blade also carries a country‑of‑origin stamp “Japan,” and both blades and fittings show honest wear and patina consistent with age and field use, adding provenance and vintage appeal. These pieces are well suited for collectors of outdoor knives or those seeking functional, characterful examples of mid‑20th century cutlery.
