I am currently listing a very large
personal knife collection--over 100 knives total, of all different
kinds. Please see my other listings; I will happily combine shipping on
knives purchased within a 5 day period.
You are looking at a Vintage Western L28 Bird & Trout Knife.
This knife is preowned. I
am not the original owner of this knife, I am only selling it. The
knives I am currently listing have come from one man's personal
lifetime collection. This knife is in what I would consider to be fair condition overall--there is quite a bit of cosmetic wear present. I am
very picky, and have examined it for both cosmetic wear and
functional issues. I will list all I know about the knife below, but
please understand that I am NOT a knife expert. I am happy to answer
questions or send additional photos through private messages about any of my listings.
Details of this knife:
- Full length of knife: approximately 6-1/4"
- Length of blade: approximately 3"
- Number of blades: one blade
- Year made: unknown
- Markings: The blade is stamped "Western" "Boulder, Colo." and "Made in U.S.A." on one side. The tang is also stamped on the underside, "L28". There are no other markings that I can see anywhere else on the knife.
- Blade edge:
The blade edge is worn and on the dull side. The point looks to me to have been broken off right at the very end, but in that state, it does still have sharpness to it. I have shown these up close in my photos for
you to be able to
view so you can determine wear and edge condition for yourself.
- Cosmetic wear:
Both the blade and the handle have cosmetic wear: surface scuffs/marks, scratches, and discoloration are present, and the blade does have spotting. Please view photos. There are no cracks of any kind on the handle.
- There is NO wobble to the blade.
- There are no initials, engravings, or inscriptions on the blade or handle.
Again--I am not a knife expert.
I have done my best to research this knife, list it accurately, and
photograph it from all angles to show the true condition and describe
any major flaws. Please view ALL photos and feel free to ask any
questions before bidding. I ship as quickly as possible throughout the
week, Monday through Friday!
