HUGE Knife Help
8 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
Can someone please help me ID the age, origin and possibly maker of this huge antique knife? It's overall length is roughly 15-1/4 inches, blade is roughly 10 x 1-7/8 inches and it weighs roughly 22 oz. It appears hand-made of steel, brass and stag/bone(?). It's numbered on one side and on the other, faint remains of a maker's name that begins with an 'SC'. The knife was purchased in the suburbs just outside of Philadelphia, PA. After an exhausted search, the only maker I could locate within my tri-state (NJ, PA, DE) area (assuming it's locally made) with a maker's mark that begins with the letters 'SC' was/is Schively of Philadelphia, but I'm sure I'm wrong? Thank you all in advance for your time and thoughts! |
I'm moving this over to the Euro side for better responses.

Looks like a generic 'ORIGINAL BOWIE' made by an assortment of MFG from solingen thru Pakistan. Usually with wood grip panels. Stag ones are a bit nicer. Nice shape, steel varies. I have one, 10in. blade, had a devil of a time finding a pre-made scabbard for it.

Hello,
I love it !! yes, a nice old ( I think ) Bowie knife, with the stag grips I would say north american or german origin, usually german blades have Soligen, Eickhorn... marks/stamps not numbers so an american one ??... |
Not a Schively bowie - not his style.
