What shape is that? It looks short and stout!

stancaiman · Post by **stancaiman** » Tue May 08, 2012 6:39 pm

for me a drop point but ...
it's not short, and not very stout

These Westerns are all similar. I think they are a great knife. Great pattern design.

Stan, it's nice to see you back with us. Who put those funny numbers on that beautiful ruler?

mrjaimejun - Welcome to AAPK, the friendliest knife site on the web.

My only Western folder is a scout/camper/utility.

nice one stan, i had one just like it.
i did not have a sheath, though,
so i traded it for something more
pocket friendly. in fact i am carrying
the knife i traded for right now!!!
it was a great knife, just never could
warm up to it. if you like mid-sized
lockbacks, you can't go wrong with one of these

The 532 and 533 are 1980's and 1990's remakes of the old Western States Cutlery 5230 (old 30). 4 1/2" closed, this is an exclusive Western States Cutlery pattern. I don't think anyone else copied it. This is not my knife, wish it was. I've seen them handled in bone, stag, and cell.

I would consider them stout. Western first produced these in 1928.

They came out with the 5 1/4" clasp pattern (old 27 and 062), along with a single blade 5 1/4" coke bottle at about the same time frame.

What a georgeous trapper!

Wow thawk those are beautiful. I have took a liking to Westerns. So much so I am like that AT&T commercial with the little girl.

She is sitting at the table and says if you like it you want more. I like it I want more, I want more. lol I bought my first on ebay for couple dollars with broke handle and I love packing it. I forgot to take a picture of a folding hunter. I will post it later. The trapper, I bought from muskrat man, is as sharp has a razor. I have sliced my finger twice wiping it off with a rag.

Here is the trapper.

Here is a Western States 6374C stockman, a slender 3 7/8 inches stockman, about the same pattern as the 61OT or 861 open-stock Schrades. Absolutely mint. Manufactured 1928 to 1942.

TR,what a Stunner!!!!!!

My second Western, this one from the Camillus period shortly before the doors closed. I've just started on this little series. This if the first (for me) of five.

Those playing card Camilli are cool. Although almost all of the "Western heroes" pocket knives are very low-price-point items, I think Camillus made some Riders of the Silver Screen knives of good quality. Those could be fun, also.

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 9:46 pm

Riders of the Silver Screen knives would make a nice little collection but their price, my interest and my pocketbook are not in sync.

So many knives, so little $$$.

My new to me Western Whittler this could jump in EDC status.

Nice old stag handle one.
