Western Fillet Knife
Have been doing some research on a Western Fillet knife; but I’m not finding any answers. Time to ask the pros. The subject knife is a Western (duh) fillet knife, with a 6” blade, and 11” overall. It is stamped W766, with an “F” code. What I’ve learned, or think I’ve learned is that it’s a Model W766, that was made in 1982. But what I also encounter is that by far, most of these model 766 fillet knives are marked S-W 766. Does anyone here know what, or why the difference with a knife with just a “W” as compared to one with S-W?

Still looking into this, but thus far, it is looking like the "S" variant is one made by Camillus, which, I gather, means the W766 was Western made.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your research into my question. I don’t know how you found that out; but that’s interesting. Could it be that Camillus made a lions share of these fillet knives; because, except for a very few, these blades all have the “S”. I very much appreciate the response that I’ve already received from members of this site-You, Jan, and Charles. I’m a newby, and impressed by the sites members and their involvement from these responses, and the welcome that I’ve received.
