Genuine MINT Siebe Gorman Diver’s Knife c1980

Here on offer is genuine mint example of a SIEBE GORMAN Diver’s Knife, with its original heavy cast brass sheath, circa 1980.

I believe this is the final ‘fifth style’ of divers knife that Siebe Gorman made.

This variation is in fact the last real divers knife made by Siebe Gorman and dates from the late 1970’s or early 1980’s.

They did made a series of commemorative knives for the 175th birthday of Siebe Gorman, but these were made for collectors rather then for divers to use.

The pommel is made from brass and the nut fits tightly onto the black “Ebonite” black ribbed grip.

The grip is in excellent condition but does have a tiny manufactures crack showing where the grip fits to the ferrule collar.

The plain oval brass finger guard and ferrule, complete the hilt assembly.

The really impressive 7.6” double-edged steel blade has a bright finish and retains all of its original cross graining.

If I am being really picky there are a few “pin head” sized greying marks on the blade that I am sure will clean off if so required.

The maker’s name:

SIEBE
GORMAN

has been electro-engraved in a large font on one side of the blade.

The heavy sheath has been cast from brass and is in its original mint condition, with a slight patina to the metal finish. The top is fluted and there is a slot in the reverse to retain a leather strap, that is not present on this knife.

On the reverse there is also a flat copper rivet that secures the internal blade spring to hold the knife firmly in the sheath.

The end of the sheath has an oval opening to allow any water to escape.

The blade measures 7.6” (19.4cm) and the knife itself 13.2” (33.4cm) long.

It weighs a heavy 920g.
