WWII Wide Blade #2. Not the widest, but definitely a bit more than "standard". Rarer than hen's teeth. Nice patina on the blade. Obviously a carried piece. It is available.

I acquired this one in 2007 and it has always been in a zipper case except for cleaning and handling so the color has not changed.

Tom -

Your knife is much too late to be Westinghouse "Ivorite", by about 15-20 years. I don't think subsequent materials used by the shop are prone to darkening like the original Westinghouse material, at least not to the same degree.

Tom,
That stiletto is bone linen micarta, I believe. It will not change in color...or at least none has over the past 13+ years since I introduced it.
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
PS: Great looking Model #2!

Joe & Capt. Chris,

Appreciate your comments. It was my impression the handle material was the shop supplied AGM and would darken over time if exposed to too much sunlight similar to the Westinghouse "Ivorite". I never considered Bone Linen Micarta. I think it is amazing how the color can look so different with different lighting and background. Bone Linen Micarta, never too late to learn something new about these knives.grin

Here is My 2-8 that belonged to Paul Gilday, and his nickname was "Gillis". I am not sure if I have posted before, and I did not go back and look. Sorry Guys if it is a duplicate!

You can see the natural leather color coming through the logo stamp on back of the sheath. It indicates the sheath left the Johnson leather shop black. 7 spacer knives with shop made black sheathes are a good thing!
