The first, with a faint mark that I can't quite make out, has a single blade, smooth bone scales, and signs of moderate wear. The second sports two blades, gorgeous jigged bone scales, and is in excellent unsharpened condition. It's marked WESTERN BOULDER, COLO. on both tangs and bears a WESTERN STATES SHARP CUTLERY etch on the second blade. Is this a transition knife, maybe from the mid fifties?
Thanks for watching! T-A
