What is this knife?

[Caleb M.]

I received a knife from my grandpa which belonged to his dad. Does anybody know what it is?

Looks like a Buck Knife ...??

 

[SOLEIL]

Not a Buck. Are there any markings on the blade? Get some better pics showing any markings that may be on the blade and post here: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/f...-Levine-s-Knife-Collecting-amp-Identification Some one their will be sure to recognize it or its genre. The clearer the pic the better. Good luck!

Pictures of tang stamp!

Looks like a Western Cutlery.

Model L66 possibly?

I have a smaller knife of similar style and same materials. Mine is apparently a Kinsfolk, who marked their knives with only a blade etch that was easily worn off.
Perhaps yours is a Kinsfolk as well? Better pictures of the tang area and sheath decorations would be helpful. No offense, but it looks like you used a cell phone in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. If a cell phone camera is all you have, try laying the knife on a flat surface outside in the shade.

Best luck in your quest.

My tang stamp says Boulder City, the rest I can't read.

Looks nearly identical to my buddies (similar background story, actually) Schrade.

Where Western States Cutlery was, according to Bernard Levine.

It looks like a Western to me, my brother has a similar one he used working at a nursery.

Looked at my buddies knife again today. I took pics but tapatalk won't let me post 'em. His knife is absolutely identical. The blade is marked:

SCHRADE-WALDEN
N.Y. U.S.A 147
