Re: west-cut boulder colo.
"Before or after" what?
In general, it is a West-Cut K5 made by Western, and matching the one illustrated in the 1958 catalog sheet in Platt's book. At a guess it dates to sometime in the 1960s but that's just a guess. Changes in the marks on West-Cuts don't seem to have been exactly parallel to those on other fixed blade knives from Western.

Quality should not be an accident. So what is the explanation for some of the knives we've seen in the past few years? (from A Knifebuyer's Manifesto)
