Vintage 1976 1-6" Westinghouse Old Yeller

Vintage 1976 1-6" Westinghouse Old Yeller

Great Model 1-6 with super “Old Yeller”handle as my good friend Perry Miller called it. I am not certain who coined the term, but believe was Perry, and it has stuck.

Product Details

  • Excellent example of a mid-1970’s model 1.
  • The piece is in near mint condition. Carbon Steel blade. Brass hilt of the day.
  • Three thick two thin spacer arrangement that ran on non-leather handles from around 1973 to 1977/78. I put this knife somewhere in the early to middle of that range.
  • The Westinghouse Ivorite or “Old Yeller” is in fine condition and show a nice mellowing with age. This is a special handle material, superior in my opinion of anything to follow, and second only to brown micarta for collectibility.
  • The Maurice Johnson rough back sheath really shows little sings of the knife being sheathed, with a white SP-13 Bear Brand stone in the pouch.
  • Truly a clean piece.
