[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3433534, member: 27673"] [USER=38658]@steelfingers[/USER] Western made some really good knives back in the day. I've got two Western W-49 bowies (they are a big heavy knife, the blade 9 3/4" long...2" wide and the OAL is 14 3/4") on wood display stands that I can glance over and look at as I peck this......one is a 1977 and the other is a 1981 and both are pre-Coleman with the drop loop sheaths. Although not a issue item some of our field troops purchased the W-49's from the PX and carried them in Vietnam back in the 60's and early 70's......I preferred something lighter and less bulky and I was able to scrounge up a Ka-Bar.
