Vintage John Primble 3750S India Steel Works 2-Blade Pocket Knife.
Offered is a vintage John Primble India Steel Works 3750S two-blade folding pocket knife.
This is an attractive older American-made pocket knife featuring:
- John Primble India Steel Works tang stamp
- Model 3750S
- Approximately 3⅜ inches closed
- Two folding blades
- Original brown jigged bone-style handle scales
- Original shield
- Metal bolsters and end cap
- Traditional vintage pocket-knife construction
Condition
The knife is in vintage used condition and shows considerable age and use.
Both blades have visible patina, discoloration, staining and surface oxidation, along with sharpening/wear consistent with its age. The handles show normal age-related wear but remain attractive, and I do not see any major cracks or missing handle pieces in the photographs.
Please carefully examine all photographs, as the pictures are an important part of the description and show the knife\'s actual condition.
I have not aggressively polished or refinished the knife, so the vintage patina has been left intact.
A nice collectible example of an older John Primble / India Steel Works pocket knife for a Primble collector or vintage knife enthusiast.

My recommendation
I\'d use $65 Buy It Now + Best Offer, $35 minimum, exactly as you requested. I would also leave the knife as-is rather than trying to remove the patina. The photographs you\'ve taken are good enough to sell it, and the close-up of the Primble tang stamp is particularly important.
mechanicall knife blade work well and no wobble
Yes — that is an important point and helps the listing. I would describe the mechanical condition separately from the cosmetic condition.
