Captain Currey / Seaman's MK-1 Navy Deck Knife w/ Leather Sheath

Description

C. Currey Ltd.
Made in England
Since 1946
Traditional MK-1 type design for crewmembers aboard naval ships and merchant vessels, where the many applications of a deck knife would also include the ability to be used in combat... should the need arise!  With an overall length of 10" including a 5" spear-tip blade, this knife is the real deal... still 100% handmade in England, featuring
high carbon British steel
that is legendary for its exceptional strength and ability to hold an edge.
Balanced, tapered spine with scalloped upper edge (survival / rescue/ etc)
Rosewood handle is knurled to provide a sure grip, and features solid brass rivets plus a drilled hole for a lanyard.
The sheath (also known as a "scabbard") is oil-tanned English leather with heavyweight stitching and brass rivets for reinforcement. The front has a retaining strap with brass snap, and the back is slotted to be worn on belts up to 2" wide.
COMMENTS:
**THIS KNIFE IS NOT STAINLESS STEEL. High carbon British steel offers the advantages of superior hardness and the ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. As with other tools aboard the ship, it can be occasionally wiped down with a light coat of oil to prevent corrosion during long term storage. IF YOU PREFER STAINLESS PLEASE CHECK OUR OTHER RIGGING KNIFE LISTINGS (Thank you!!)
Limited stock, special edition includes New England rope wrist lanyard (as pictured) plus commemorative storage pouch. Excellent for gift giving or presentation. Ships quickly and directly from our USA stockroom.
