Early Will & Finck Full Tang Bowie Knife ~ San Francisco California

Description

For your consideration is this fabulous early Will & Finck clipped point Bowie knife in excellent condition. 15.5” overall with a 10” full tang carbon steel blade and a 5.5” handle with a notched quillon, bone scales, 8 retaining pins and a steel pommel. The bone scales are the I-word. Marked on the ricasso in two lines WILL & FINCK / S.F. CAL
The knife has had NO modern sharpening or cleaning. The dark blade patina is typical of these knives and the result of the type of steel used in their production. Some minor oxidation but NO DAMAGE whatsoever. The antler stand in the first photo is not included.

The knife will be safely and carefully packaged and shipped in a sturdy box via USPS First Class Mail with tracking and insurance. I want it to arrive in your collection in the same condition as it leaves mine. Please note that I ship only within the United States. I normally ship within 2 business days of payment. I’m happy to combine shipping on multiple items. Please request a combined invoice or I will promptly refund any postage overage once items are shipped.
