What knife did James West carry?

For those of us of that era or rerun watchers, anyone know what knife he had in the back of his coat?

Wild, Wild West was one of my favorite shows growing up. I'll have to see if I can find an episode that shows it, 'cause I sure don't remember!

One of my all time favorite shows, I strangely remember he had a knife up his sleeve? or was that a Derringer?

Now in regards to a pocketknife---I just bet he carried a Barlow

Whatever throwing knife prop the studio effects people rigged for that scene.

Awesome show, one of my all time favorites. not sure about the knife in his coat but i loved the one he popped out of the tip of his boot!

I only recall a throwing knife behind his neck/collar and a Pop out knife in the toe of his boot. Great show.

James West was ok, now Artimus Gordon, he was my favorite, that guy had more gadgets than Inspector Gadget.

I think there were a few blades in the movie remake with Will Smith and the other guy, I can never remember his name and he's been in a ton of stuff. I enjoyed the remake too but I prefer the old series.

IIRC, in the movie version, Artemus Gordon was played by Kevin Klein.

That's more like it:thumbup:, that image does resonate now that you mention it

Signs of my old age are becoming more and more apparent

As a HUGE fan of WWW I recall there were two types; one was a leather handle throwing knife, very similar to several German made models of the time. For close ups, there was a fancy metal handled one which looked like the same knife simply rehandled. In some shots it can be seen clearly that neither were sharpened.

I loved that show.

I was about 8 or 9 when after snapping off the blade in a cheap folder I tried to make my own boot knife. Damn near cut the bottom off my big toe.
I didn't have cowboy boots but I ruined a pair of black high top Chuck Taylors. (just like the ones Timmy had in Lassy)

That was the first time I did my own first aid so my mom wouldn't find out, she eventually noticed all the blood on the floor in my bedroom tho.

great show.

no idea what kind of knife in his coat tho.

no way I'm the only one that tried that on here either.

I have the DVD set and the commentary is very interesting. The derringer pooped out of his sleeve. Some sort of knife was in his coat I'll never forget one episode where Artemus broke him out of jail and his jail and on the run said this is my smoking jacket
