This was an old discontinued Western carbon steel pattern was reintroduced in 1996 by Camillus, but with stainless blades and laminated wood handles. It seem to disappear just as quickly and is nowhere to be found by the 1998 catalog.

Comes with a Western Camillus box and Western Camillus papers. Here is a short lived reintroduction of historical pattern by a company (Camillus) who has itself fallen to the ravages of history.

Item # 20766 - WESTERN W742 Stockman

More Details	MAKER: Western PATTERN: W742 Stockman CLOSED LENGTH: 3-7/8 inches HANDLES: Laminated wood BLADES: Stainless Steel; Clip, Spey & Sheepfoot blades. BOLSTERS: Nickel Silver LINERS: Brass TANG STAMPS: Front Stamp: WESTERN/U.S.A. - Rear Stamp: STAINLESS/W742 CONDITION: New DAMAGE: None AGE: Late 1980s or early 1990s COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA BLADE WEAR: None SHIELD: None SNAP: Very Strong BLADE ETCH: None ADDITIONAL INFO: This knife is new old stock. It has not been used. It came to me in a Western Box with paperwork from the Camillus factory. If this were the correct box for the knife, it would date the knife after 1991. However, I cannot find where Camillus sold this pattern after they bought Western. In that case it should have a letter code to date the year it was made in the Western factory, but alas, it has no letter code. The only explanations I can think of are that: A. It is a transition knife. Perhaps a work in progress in the Western factory that was finished at Camillus after they bought Western, and consequently packaged in a Camillus-Western box. B. The possibility always exists that someone put the knife in the wrong box. Whatever the reason or the box, the fact remains that you will get a new high quality Western knife. Suitable for display or riding around all day in your pocket, ready at a moments notice to help you with your cutting chores. For Sale By Orvet Customs
