The prices are about half of the ebay average price for similar knives over the past 15 months; we can discuss discounts on multiple purchases, etc. Trades considered, for stuff I can use. Shipping (via USPS in Priority Mail flat-rate boxes) not included in price. Paypal strongly preferred.
If you are outside the US, PM me and we can try to work something out as far as shipping, etc.
SOLD #1. Western skinning knife. Blade measures about 4 3/8", about 8 1/2" overall. No sheath. Missing a half-washer near the crossguard, and an entire washer near the pommel (but crossguard and pommel are still tight), blade marked by some heavy-handed idiot's past sharpening job. $15+shipping
#2. Western "Shark" (G46-6) pattern from later WWII-era. Blade measures a bit over 5 3/4", about 10 1/4" overall. No sheath. Missing a half-washer on one side, pommel and iron crossguard are still tight. Pommel drilled ffor a lanyard. Traces of the original blue remain on the blade (but not much). $35+shipping.
#3. Western bird & trout. Blade measures 4 1/4", a tad under 8" overall. No sheath. No missing washers, pommel is a bit dinged up. $18+shipping.
#4. Western bird & trout. Blade measures 3 1/8" (but check the pic: the blade is tipped and needs re-ground), about 7" overall. No sheath. The handle on this one fits an adult hand fairly well--better than most of the knives this size. $18+shipping.
SOLD #5. Western WWII-era "Baby Shark" (G46-5). Blade measures about 4 3/4", overall about 9". No sheath. Other than patina, the only problem is a very slight amount of play in the brass crossguard. $35+shipping.
#6. Early West-Cut, in a Western States-marked sheath. Judging from catalog illustrations and construction details, it dates to 1925-1935, prior to the introduction of the bifurcated tang. Very heavily worn; the blade measures just over 4", overall about 8 1/2". Handle is some sort of composition material (not celluloid) ; I'm still trying to find a broken example to get analyzed to determine what it is. $30+shipping.
#7. Western G46-8. Blade is 8", overall is 13", no sheath. This one was WWII-production for private sale to members of the military. If you like big knives, this is a good choice. Some blue remaining on blade, with a couple minor spots of past rust. Handle is tight (unusual for a Western this old) but a couple of the washers have split and are missing (see second pic). Not a perfect example, but the price reflects that. $70+shipping.
#8. Western-made, but marked for Coast Cutlery Co. of Portland OR, small bird & trout knife. Blade now measures a bit over 2 1/8", 6" overall. In original sheath, with small tear or cut where the knife goes in (in the pic, near the top rivet). $25+shipping.
SOLD #9. Western bird & trout, very Finnish in design. Blade is 4", 7 3/4" overrall. In original Western sheath. $30+shipping.
Thanks for looking!
