ADDITIONAL INFO:

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.
