Collectible Knives:

Very Rare Antique Hunting Knife - LL Bean Inc - Freeport, Maine - Leather Sheath

This is a very old hunting knife. I acquired it in 1960 from the original owner, who said they purchased it new many years before from LL Bean. The base of the blade is labeled LL Bean Inc, Freeport Maine. It is about 9 inches long overall with a 4.5 inch wood handle. The 4.5 inch metal blade is very sharp. The knife is in very good antique condition with a few signs of aging. It is still solid and fully functional, if you wish. The leather sheath is about 9 inches long. I was told this wasn’t the original sheath that came with the knife, but a replacement they also got from LL Bean later on. They said the letter B on it stands for Bean. The sheath is in fair to good vintage condition, with signs of use and age. It is also still functional, if you wish. This is an excellent value on a very rare item.

Please see the photo. I’ve provided the information that I like to see when I am buying things for myself, so I hope it’s complete. If not, please email any questions.

If you prefer to pick this item up, any of my listings are also available in Bean Station, Tennessee (less than 1 hour NE of Knoxville and 1 hour from the Smoky Mountains). Thanks very much for looking.
