YOU ARE BIDDING ON A VINTAGE TRU-BAL MODEL 4 COMBAT BATTLE BLADE THROWING KNIFE WITH ORIGINAL LEATHER SHEATH, MADE BY HARRY K. MCEVOY, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS EXTREMELY RARE KNIFE WAS ACQUIRED FROM THE ESTATE OF A DECORATED VIETNAM WAR COMBAT VETERAN. I BELIEVE THAT THIS KNIFE WAS CUSTOM MADE SOMETIME DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY, BUT AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE OF MANUFACTURE. MANY OF THESE TRU-BAL KNIVES WERE MADE BY HARRY K. MCEVOY AND SOLD THROUGH THE RANDALL KNIFE COMPANY CATALOGS. THIS PARTICULAR TRU-BAL KNIFE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND MEASURES APPROX. 12" INCHES OVERALL, WITH A BLADE THAT MEASURES APPROX. 7 1/2" INCHES. THE BRIGHT SHINY TEMPERED SPRING STEEL BLADE WAS HAND-CRAFTED, AND HAS AN EXTENDED TANG WITH A DURABLE VULCANIZED FIBRE HANDLE. THE BLADE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH ORIGINAL SHARPENING, AND VERY MINOR AGE RELATED MARKS. MARKINGS ON ONE SIDE OF THE BLADE ARE "TRU-BAL", AS WELL AS THE TRU-BAL LOGO. MARKINGS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BLADE ARE THE TRU-BAL LOGO. THE BLACK FIBRE HANDLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. IT IS SECURED BY 2 HEAVY DUTY RIVETS WITH BRASS RETAINING RINGS. THE THICK BROWN LEATHER SHEATH IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, WITH ALL STITCHING AND RIVETS INTACT. IT HAS THE TRU-BAL LOGO EMBOSSED ON THE FRONT OF THE SHEATH. HAND WRITTEN ON THE FRONT
