Jeffin can do it too if Muskrat Man is too busy. Probably lots of members here could help you out if you look around.

When all else fails, read the directions!

I hate it when I have to read directions, lol.

this may be how your knife could have been scaled fro the factory.

Here is a cut from the Western States 1931 catalog, and an example.My impression is that no one made coke bottles after the 1930s?

Old thread I know

Do you have a catalog picture of the model # 6100L?

I am interested in seeing what the lock looks like.

[Miller Bro's]

Western assigned the pattern numbers "100" and "125" to the coke bottle handled single blade knives.

The other "100" pattern style of coke bottle handled single blade knives had 2 nickle-silver bolsters and were the ::
6100 - bone stag handles, heavy saber clip blade - 1925, 1931 and 1941 catalogs
6100-L (aka6100L), bone stag handles, but with a blade lock (type undefined) - 1925, 1931 and 1941 catalogs


Notice that the 1936 catalog did NOT include the 6100, 6100L, 2100V, 2100BH, and 3100 models. Who knows why they were omitted from the 1936 catalog but do reappear in the 1941 catalog.

Looking for a catalog cut or real knife picture of a 6100L if you have anything.

Is this what you're looking for? This knife appears to be the model 6100-L ( nickel silver bolsters at each end, bone stag handles, lock).

Not my knife, not my pics.

Thanks for posting the picture

The one I am looking for has a lock in the side of the bolster, like a button I am assuming, don't know because I have never seen one before.

Your welcome . I have found the folks at A.A.P.K. to helpful when I have had a question or two . Was the 6100L with the dog head the knife you were inquiring about ? Posting picture of one more dog head lock back from Sargents .My guess would be the 6100L would have close to the same production dates
