062 with Western Sheath

In 1911, H. N. Platts, was able to draw on his extensive friendships and family connections in the cutlery world to start Western States Cutlery and Manufacturing of Boulder Colorado. At first only a jobbing business, by 1920 construction and machinery purchases were underway to begin manufacture of knives. Through name changes--to Western States Cutlery Co. in 1953, then Western Cutlery Co. in 1956--and moves first across town and later to Longmont Colorado, the company stayed under the leadership of the Platt family until 1984. In that year, the company was sold to Coleman, becoming Coleman-Western. Eventually purchased by Camillus in 1991, Western continued until Camillus expired in 2007.

062 with Western Sheath

Post by Jeffinn »

Did the 062’s come with a sheath? This one came with a nice leather Western stamped sheath.

Yes sir. I have one from the 70’s somewhere in my pile.

Your’s is nice. They’re one of my absolute favorite folding hunters.

I’ve had one of these previously but it wasn’t quite a nice as this one. They are perfectly sized in my opinion and fit really well in the hand.
