Korean Agricultural Knife?
I came across a knife when cleaning out the in-laws garage.
Is is stamped Korea on the blade. It is curved like this knife: But is sharpened on the outside of the curve. It is a partial tang And has lead on the pommel I would assume for balance. Any clues on what the knife is for? Because of the "korea" stamp does that indicate manufacture prior to 1945? How do i post pictures on this thread? AHammer |

That's common around here.
They are either uninterested or don't have an answer for you. What you have pictured looks like a carpet layer's knife, but if the one you reference has the outside curve sharpened, then it could be a simple utility blade that just happens to have a very swept point. That's just a guess. __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |

What you probably have is a stain glass lead came cutting, and working knife, of the herder design. The lead weight on the end is used for tapping in horseshoe nails into a stain glass layout board. I have the same knife blade design, but marked Don Carlos, with a Korea stamp. I can think of 10 other uses for your knife, right of the top off my head, as well. PS: It is probably Vintage 1970's from what i found. Last edited by lzenglish; 04-24-2017 at 08:28 PM. |
