ADDITIONAL INFO:   This is a restored used Western Outers pattern knife. The last mention of this in the catalog pages of Harvey Platt’s book, “The Knife Makers Who Went West” is in the 1941 catalog reprint. One would think it would be stamped Western States Cutlery instead of Western. I imagine there were some made after World War II but that those pages were excluded from the catalog reprints in Harvey Platt’s book. The dimensions for the 1941 Outers knife in the Western catalog are 7-1/2” for the overall length and the blade length is 4”, everything matches up otherwise. The knife originally had a celluloid handle that was beginning to off gas so I replaced it was Sambar stag. The very nice custom leather sheath came with the knife when I bought it. It is far better than the original sheath that came with the older Westerns when they were new.

This would be a nice piece for display or even for using.’

This is a restored & customized vintage knife. Like most old soldiers it may have a few battle scars, but it is ready to go to work!
