Description
Early Model of a Vintage Custom Made DE LEON DOUBLE EDGE DAGGER. The Scales on the handle appear to be a smooth Cream, off white color and shaped similar to the coffin style handles with black liners. It measures 10-7/8 inches overall length with a just north of 6 inch double edge Dagger blade. The knife is made of 1/4 inch thick High Carbon Steel, (someone told me the S under De Leon meant Stainless steel, but a rare earth magnet locks tight on the blade, so I am saying this one is Carbon steel). Knife and sheath weigh in at 14.2 ounces. Full tang construction made from 1 inch blade stock. There is a brass lined lanyard hole at the butt of the handle. One side is stamped DE LEON S and the other has a small A L. This is how De Leon stamped his early knives before he added the E, probably an early version from his time with Ralph Bone (just a guess on my end). There won't be any more knives made by him since he passed away in 2015. It comes with aheavy duty leather sheath. I'm not for sure the sheath is the original or not, but the knife rides well in it and locks in tight. De Leon was a very well known and respected Texas knife maker. De Leon Learned and honed his skills at knife making from RALPH BONE who also worked with Randall Made Knives.
