WW2 Theatre Knife
Genuine WW2 Theatre knife, possibly British with a bowie type blade and tang wrapped with a cord and glued with a kind of resin. Theatre knives are a type of trench art fighting knives made for battle from parts of artillery shrapnel, downed plane parts, exploded armored vehicles and what ever metal and steel can be found around the battle field.
This theatre knife is probably from World War 2, most likely British due to the motto on the blade "Your Courage Will Bring Us Victory". The tip of the pommel has a crown and the initials GP.
The scabbard is made of canvas and looks like it was used in Israel due to the Hebrew name written behind it which is barely readable רון כרמי (Ron Carmi).
Dimensions
Length with scabbard: 29.5 cm
Length without scabbard: 28 cm

Trench Art Knife From WW1 1914
A trench art knife or letter opener made in 1914 probably during the siege of the fortified city of Namur in Belgium between August 20-25, 1914, when German and Austro-Hungarian forces fought and defeated the defending Belgium and French forces. Like many other trench art items this knife is made of an artillery shell fragment which can be seen from the ridges in the handle. On one side of the ricasso "1914" is etched and on the other side "Namur" is etched, hence associating this trench art knife to the time period of the siege.
The knife length is 17 cm (6.70 inches).

Nepalese Kukri Knife With Bone Handle
Nepalese Kukri also pronounced khukri or khukuri knife with a white bone handle, possibly Yak bone, maybe ivory, with a decorative scabbard with turquoise beads and two small sharpening knives. This Nepalese Gurkha Kukri knife is in very good condition with decorations on the blade and the scabbard is decorated with coral and turquoise beads and wire on hammered copper over leather. The knives are offered in very good original condition with normal wear due to its age. The leather scabbard has dried with age and can be restored with special oils to return some moisture and flexability. Only one or two turquoise beads are missing and can be easily replaced. Judging by its age and style this Nepalese kuri knife is probably from the mid 20th century and having it in this condition with its two matching small sharpening knives is a rare find for those collecting antique edged weapons.
Length: 45 cm (17.71 inches) with scabbard, 43 cm (16.92 inches) without scabbard.
