I have an older Webster Wood Survival knife with about a 7 inch by 1 1/4 by 1/4 thick blade, with awesome rip-saw teeth. Black Oxide finish. Little over 12 inches overall.
Guard has notches for breaking fence and wire.
Webster's hollow handle knives were among the best, very strong and very well made.
Comes with nylon web sheath and removable pouch.
Knife is in excellent condition.
Here is a copy of the Email I got from Mr. Wood regarding this knife:
Matt-
You have a real collectors item there. That is one of the first batches of
survivals I made back in the late 70's. The blade is welded to the guard
and the handle is welded to the back side of the guard. I still make some
of the latest model with the bic lighter in the handle but not many.
At present I have two left. They now sell for 450-
rising cost of living . I didn't make many of the seven inch with the inch
and a quarter steel. There are two rarer than that and those are the two I
built with the removable teeth. They are out there in the world somewhere.
Your knife must have been sold at a show or maybe the Guild show in Kansas
city. The sheath was made by a guy in Missourri that I used to purchase
from. He owned a shoe manufacturing co. and He dissappeared and no one has
heard from him. The cap was made out of a large bolt and the sling swivel
stud was added. You could get a machinist to make you a new cap. I think
that your knife is stainless and only the cap is steel. At least that is
what it looks like in the picture. You can tell by putting a little cold
blue on it. If it blues it is O-1 and if not stainless. If it is a
parkerized steel one it is rarer yet as I only mad three or four of them on
special order. Webster Wood
Pic available.
Will add in A CRK Aviator with box and papers for the right knife.
I really would like to trade for one of these (but am open to other knives of course),
