I am pleased to offer this Great Unique Antique Cast Iron Whale Flensing Blade

Likely Early 1800s, somehow used to trim blubber for lamp oil.

Knife is black cast iron; features a long narrow tang and a slightly curved tip

Blades are slightly dull from age, but do retain an edge

Sheath features a side opening with slits for fastening on top and sides; currently has no ropes or clasps.

Measurements: approx. knife 20-1/2″ inches long x 3-1/4″ inches wide; sheath 21-1/2″ long x 5″ inches wide.

Most Unusual Addition to any collection!

Available!
