The knife fits into the sheath perfectly making this an excellent example of the gentleman's push knife, suitable for the gambler as a second defense.<BR>A second surgical knife accompanying this lot for reference is a 10", ebony-handled surgical knife with the Siegel name stamped halfway down the blade. The heavy, checkered grips give this knife an attractive appearance and accentuate the shiny blade which is in excellent condition.<I> From The William Turner Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
