Vtg 1935-50 Western Boulder Colo. Pat'd Made In USA Bird Trout Hunting Knife L48

This is one of those "If this knife could only Talk" hunting knives! It has been well used, sharpened, carried, etc. BUT it is cool as Heck!

It is a Western/ Boulder, Colo. Fixed blade Bird/trout Hunting knife with its original sheath. No model number that I can make out.

Believe it to be an L48 model. 4 1/8th inch carbon steel drop point blade with fuller and swedge tip. Blade is sharp, has staining/pitting.

Bone Handle with Brass/plastic spacers is nice and solid tight. It is hand worn no cracks or chips/. Nickel 1/2 guard has a ding where it was dropped over the many years.

Aluminum Pommel has been groove cut modified by a previous owner. Also one of the previous owners etched his Initials into the head of Pommel.

I did absolutely nothing to this knife. It is in original used condition. Thing is darn cool, did I mention that already. It is original, it shows wear & tear and Use. The leather is still soft for the most part.

It has original strap and snap works. The strap has a couple extra embellishments on it that someone added to raise the "cool factor". There are 3 leather cords that the knife slides through into the sheath.

Once again added as an embellishment as they aren't needed with the working strap. The top corner of the sheath where the knife slides in has split/cut about 1/4 to 1/2''. Here's where I did intervene with a fix BUT it is not permanently affixed to the sheath. I made a small slide over leather cuff that fits snuggly around the damaged part of the sheath to hold it tight and hopefully prevent any further splitting.

It is leather and crude but it works! Another owners name along with "1951" was scratched Into the back of the Sheath near Tip end.

This knife deserves to go to someone who will appreciate its past and leave it as is. You will understand what I'm talking about.

I've been hemming and hawing about listing it, gonna be hard to let this one go.
