That Black Beauty is a nice score!
In later years they changed the blade grinds quite a bit. The Boulder versions like yours are much nicer.
Billy Schutte of Cheyenne, Wyoming re-handles Westerns, mostly in red-dyed elk stag, like this one. It also is the earlier version of the 628.

Nice Western's guys! That rehandle is top quality Cal. OH

I've got this little Kabar boot knife when I bought a FN nickel plated 1908 vest pocket 25 ACP with MOP grip panels. It's the European version of the little Colt auto. Someone said shiny sells?

Re: Show off your SMALL fixed blades.......
These are ( from top) the first 3 knives i ordered from a custom maker to my specs some years ago.
He is out of business now.
For size comparison the 4th is a Russell Sting
They fit perfect on the front pocket,
mostly i carry this way

Re: Show off your SMALL fixed blades.......
I mislabeled the Levine miniature I believe it's a Bow Head skinner.
Re: Show off your SMALL fixed blades.......
Here's a couple that are marked but I haven't been able to id the who the maker actually is.
First is simply stamped DP. Second knife is marked Baskett while the sheath is marked Baker.

Re: Show off your SMALL fixed blades.......
outkast,
I like the looks of the little one with the antler handle, it looks "comfortable".
What is the function of the notches in the knife marked Basskett? Surely it's not a wire stripper.

Re: Show off your SMALL fixed blades.......
I think the maker's name is Gene Bassket and I'm not sure if he is still making knives. I can't see the sheath clearly but some knives were made with such a notch as to be used in conjunction with the sheath as a fulcrum to cut through barbed wire.Popular on survival knives and some bayonets if I recall correctly.treefarmer wrote:outkast,

Re: Show off your SMALL fixed blades.......
jerryd, A year ago you posted a photo of an AJ Russell Woods Walker. If you have used it, how would you rate its cutting ability?
