The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
A Vintage Western Cutlery "Shark" Fighting Knife. This knife features a Stacked Leather Handle with an Aluminum Pommel and Steel Guard. The blade is 6 inches long and still bears nearly all of its original bluing. It's 10 1/4" overall.
The Steel Guard, I believe, would date this knife to War Time production since brass was being used for munitions and was in short supply. The Western G46 with the 6" blade was dubbed the Shark.
