Thanks, Steve. Yep I'm thinking I'll be looking for a belt sheath for this one.Beautiful.Looks like a great score.
Two blade folding hunters are great.
A western 062 with 1095 blades was my 2024 KOTY. It has been on my belt in place of one of my Buck 110's or 1095 bladed Old Timer 7OT (where the weight is unnoticeable) pretty much every day since it came in, about an year ago.
IMHO they are more of a "belt knife" like the Buck 110 and Old Timer 6OT/7OT are, rather than a "pocket knife".
(Also, with them on the belt there is room in the pocket for a stockman, Barlow, canoe, or other favored pattern you want to pair it with, for a wider selection of blade profiles.)
I carried a Buck 110 or Old Timer 6OT/7OT daily from April 06, 1968 until 2024, when I got the Western 062.
After over 56 years, I didn't "think" anything would ever displace the Buck or Old Timer from my belt.
I'd tried a couple non-folding hunting knives over the years, but the big folders were just handier, and did not get in the way when I sat.
(I only had vertical sheaths.)
