C.1958 WEST-CUT, Boulder, Colo. hunter. "Wood-Craft" style. 8-3/4" overall, 4-3/4" blade. Pretty, red-green-brown=gold mottled handle, possibly Bakelite.
It's hardly used and appears not resharpened. Came with a custom-made sheath that fits very well. I don't generally collect fixed blades but it was so nice it caught my eye. I posted it on the WESTERN forum too. J.O'.![]()

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Nice, Ridgegrass. I wouldn't have passed that up either. I really like the looks of that handle. I'll bet the grip on that is perfect.

This nice Wostenholm quill knife This 72 is all there, full blades, just needs a new mark side cover. Richartz Bros & Sons Seneca Cutlery. Needs a replacement punch, does anyone have one??? Millers Bros...love the swedges Unknown with waterfall cell...could be Schrade, but no legible markings

Dad found this old Camillus Granddaddy Barlow at a gun and knife show and I liberated it from him! This is the first one of this pattern that I’ve ever had.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Dirty shame you don't have a chunk of that beautiful old Camillus bone to put on that 72. Other than that, it appears to be in fantastic condition. Great find Phil.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Lol. I promise, it was with his consent. I bought the Barlow from him and yesterday I changed out a light fixture for them. Mom and dad can’t stand for anybody to do something for free for them so when I wouldn’t let them pay me dad insisted I take the knife.
I tell ya, it’s hard to raise good parents.
