This Beautiful Example appears to be unused and never sharpened. The Carbon Steel Blade is Bright and Clean, showing no rust, pitting or nicks.
Black Micarta handle is free of cracks or nicks as well. Brass double hilt is bright and clean. Leather sheath is still supple and in great condition.
As with all the Early Blackjack Knives the Blade is etch marked CLASSIC BLADES over MODEL #1-7 with the "CARDS" Logo. The other side is etched CARBON STEEL on the Tang and MADE IN USA over EFFINGHAM, IL on the rear of the blade.
The etching is faint as was the case on most of these Model 1-7's. Please view all the photos. These original Blackjack Knives are getting harder to find, especially in this pristine condition.
