Welcome to BKCranston!
Please take a moment to read the description, condition and browse the photos. Description: A Philippine dated 1945 WWII era Negrito bolo knife with carved horn handle with brass mounts and sharp carbon steel blade. This knife was probably purchased or traded while the American soldier was in the Pacific theater fighting during WWII. It is engraved "Philippines 1945" with scrolling design and carved shallow saw toothed back rib. If you look close the handle is scratched carved with a soldiers name, it appears to read "Hank" to one side, the other side with illegible name "Feleiot" ??? The blade is very nice and sharp with patina. The original light sanding/ tooling marks can still be seen when the blade was made.
Measures; with scabbard 17" long, blade 12"

Condition:

Light wear, scratching, pitting and extremely light surface rust to blade, Handle with scratch caved name engraving. The knife is nicely patinated and in my opinion quite clean. No scabbard is included it is long gone. Please view all photographs as they are part of the condition report.

My name is Kevin Bruneau and I have been in the fine arts and collectibles business for over 30 years. I've owned antique shops, auction houses, a consignment shop, and even did a TV reality show hunting down collectible treasures. Today I travel hundreds of miles per week to find interesting pieces to bring to my BKCranston eBay site. Most items are sourced from local house-calls, auctions, and estate tag and yard sales. My interests are broad so you will never know what I will list next. It could be an old master paintings or a baseball card collection.
