PANTHER KNIFE HIGH CARBON STEEL VINTAGE JAPAN MADE LARGE LOCKBACK & SLIPJOINT KNIFE, SHEATH & BOX
Here is a vintage Panther Knife by Compass Instrument & Optical Co. Inc. Japan made large double blade folding pocket knife with original leather matching Panther sheath and 2 pc. box all in excellent condition. Stock product number is 580 and is a very hefty well made double blade knife, master blade with clip point designed for dressing that has a liner lock and the second blade designed for skinning with a straight back has slip joint locking. Both blades have been sharpened. both are full length, both have excellent snap on opening and closing and both are bright & clean and both lock up tight when fully opened. The hardwood handles are in perfect unmarked condition as is the solid brass unpolished bolsters. Brass appears unstained with no scratches, pitting or sheath storage signs. Knife closed measures 4 7/8" in length. I believe this knife was made to resemble the Schrade 25OT folding hunter knife.
