Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds American Made Western W49 Bowie Knife

I bought this knife new when I was 17 years old (I was gonna be another Jeremiah Johnson then). It's been in storage ever since. I haven't seen this knife in 36 years. Ran across it yesterday with some other older Schrade's when I made a trip to my storage facility. It's never been used or sharpened. It's in pretty darn good shape too. Says 'WESTERN' and 'U.S.A. W49' on the blade. Underneath that, there's an 'E'. It has the original sheath and is in the original box. The OAL is 14 and 1/2", and the blade length is 9 and 3/8". There is no pitting on it, and barely a slight patina (it's likely just very slight stains from the gun oil that was on the blade for over 30 years in storage). Could probably be polished up with some car wax or something. It's a biga$$ knife...it's really got some heft to it...! I think you could cut a man's hand off at the wrist with it in one swipe. Anyway, here it it...$75 shipped to the lower 48.
Thanks for lookin'.
