ADDITIONAL INFO:     Most people who read my post’s on AAPK regularly or who peruse my store and read the descriptions know that I am a big fan of Western knives and the steel that Western used in these knives. This one goes back a few years, probably the 1960s or 1970s. It has not been used much and appears to have carbon steel blades because there is a little bit of pitting. It should make an excellent user!
