MY Favorite Knife of ALL TIME (In The World)

[Trent Rock]

Western Boulder,CO Model F39
And I don't even have an original sheath for it either

I love the design, colors, material, "feel", weight, "lines" and balance of this knife
I think it is because it sorta has that George Jetson feel to it
The design was supposed to be "modern"/cutting edge for it's time
It reminds me of those True Temper hatchets that have a picture of a rocket on them

I pray to god you guys don't tell me it's a fake
That would ruin my decade

It is from a series called "Black Beauty", I think. Dennis was doing an article on it a while back.

You'd be hard pressed to locate an original sheath, but then again, there is probably one out there somewhere. Nice knife, good blade style for skinning etc or kitchen work.

Look, here's an extra (still no sheath)

Nice knife. It looks indestructable. Have one made in the meantime just to carry it.

A wooden scale version was also made W39. Look in the Western part of this site for my wood scale collection of Western knives. http://www.collectors-of-camillus.us/

I've got a Marbles knife with a similar profile. Like the way your thumb naturally rests over the top on these.

I used to have what seemed to be a clone of this knife, made by Imperial. The knife was a typical Imperial shell-handled piece, but the sheath was better than any Western sheath I've ever seen. You might watch for one on the 'bay or at garage sales.
