Presented here is an original, antique, clip point, bowie hunting knife made by the John Newton Company of Sheffield, England in the early 1900s. The handsome side knife comes without a scabbard.

A plain, brass cross guard off-sets the antique two-piece stag handle that is riveted to the tang with four small pins. Blade exhibits very light surface rust pitting. No edge nicks. A fine condition, antique hunting knife. No sheath.
