That was a good deal. That little F28 is a hard one to find, and on EBay they sell for close to $100. I have all the variations of the childrens knife except that one. Dave

Picked up this boot knife a couple months back. I saw Remington had one, then saw Western had basically the same thing. Just got the sheath for it last month from Terry Landenberger here on AAPK. Thanks, Terry!

Does any one know the date this knife was made?
Your knife is very early. I can't tell from the pic whether it has the patented (applied for and used in 1931, granted in 1934) bifurcated tang, but I don't think it does. According to Platts' book, they started manufacturing fixed blades in 1928. However, they were bringing knives to Colorado from "back East" sources earlier than that. It is extremely uncommon to see that arched stamp on a fixed blade. I think there is a good chance this knife is earlier than 1931 and possibly earlier than 1928 (not made in Colorado). Nice sheath, by the way.

Nice knives, Keg; I like your likes.

There is a guy in (I think) Oregon who redoes mostly Western knives. Some of his stuff is pretty interesting. I have not purchased anything from him but am considering having some of my knives re-engineered by him.
