These "white/cream color" handle knives are long out of production, according to the book "The knife makers who went West, " knives stamped with the Pat. The book "Knife makers that went West" identifies this knife as a Tenite handle. I believe that Tenite was the Western's brand name for this type of handle composite material.

This Western knife has a beautiful and smooth "white/cream color" Tenite handle. For comparison: some knife manufacturing company's brand names (for a composite handle) included Bakelite, Phenolic, Celluloid, Delrin, Staglon, Micarta, ect. Collected, making this great condition even more rare and difficult to find.

The overall length is almost. T he blade length is approx. W E S T E R N. F I E L D.

Overall, this Western knife is a real beauty, and offers a solid grip when held in your hand. (Please view photos for complete details).

The mirror-like blade has some light scratches and tiny carbon age specks, but appears to have No signs of re-sharpening. Knife blade looks straight with a pointed tip, and measures approx. I believe this Western knife has a sabre ground blade, and features a false top edge, that could be sharpened if desired. This vintage hunting knife features split tang construction , with a 1 long metal finger guard that is tight with No movement.

Each side of the blade has blood grooves that measures approx 2 1/4 long. (Please view photos for details). A vintage leather sheath is included and has Western "oak leaf" tooling on the front. The sheath appears original and has intact leather lacing, stiff throat, and a belt loop. This factory made leather case has a secure working snap strap, and overall measures: 8 1/2 long. The companion Western sheath/case fits the knife very well and holds it securely in place while carrying. This old hunting knife has. A lot of character and vintage appeal....
