Lovely looking knife with a history




This is similar S&Ms 2006 3 1/2"

I had to dig into my Harness Jack collection to find some Westerns for this thread. Like Mike, I wish I'd bought a few more along the way.
Not as graceful as your single springers Hal, but they have their own charm. The Candy stripe one is pictured in one of Jim Sargent's older books.

Both nice knives. I like the long pull and short matchstrike. Looks like the punch is pretty sharp too.

Ed, I think the California or Turkish Clip were designed more for aesthetics, and a streamlined profile than for functionality. Not sure about that though. These Western blades are really thin from top to bottom. Great bird knives for cleaning quail or doves.

That's a great point thawk. I have a couple/three or four knives with that type blade but don't use them for heavy (even moderate) work. Hmmmmm, maybe I'll try one the next time I go quail hunting and have to clean several birds.
