Western knife black beauty F488
Hang on to your knives; I got to thinking about a little knife I inherited from my father, it is has to be at least 60 years old. It has a very short blade about 3.5 inches long Looks like they are now selling in the $50 to $60 range. Not bad for a knife my dad probably only paid 5 bucks for.

I did more research online and found that the knife was made closer to around 50 ( rather than 60 ) years ago. As noted by Chrisadamley, Western also made hatchets. The F488 was made in a set with a hatchet. I can't remember if my father ever had the hachet.

Brings back some memories. We had a few of those knives and at least one hatchet around while growing up. I have no idea what became of them.
