they were my dad's from when he was in highschool. they're really in pretty good condition. i had to clean and sharpen both the knife and the ax cause they were pretty dull and dirty. it has a stamp on it that says made in USA so that also makes it pretty cool lol. what do you guys think?

Very nice score!.
I always wanted one of those, does it say who made it?

I have a set now but it's made in china.

i think its western. does that sound right? ive never i heard of a knife company by that name but the stamp on the knife blade says "western" and then right below that it says "USA"

I have owned several pieces of Western Cutlery. I always considered it good gear. Rugged stuff that would not let you down.

I agree. They rank right up there with the old Marbles, Ka-bar, and Camillus IMO.
