1981 American Series 6051 Boot Knife
In 1977 following the successful Smith & Wesson Blackie Collins designed Survival Series of knives, Robert Ferraro an engineer at S&W was requested to design a new series of medium-priced folding and fixed blade knives. Three years in development, in 1981 Smith & Wesson introduced the American Series Featuring a 440 stainless steel blade, Posi-Grip handle and Wessonhide sheath.
Manufactured in the USA by Vermont Knives for Smith & Wesson they were sold only through the S&W dealers. The 6051 Boot knife came in a satin finish and 6051 B featuring a black blade. This boot knife was popular because of the use of 440 stainless steel, sturdy sheath w/clip, and its quick maneuverable size.
This is a pre owned knife. The picture is representative of the knife you will receive. This was part of an estate we acquired and there are several NOS 6051's available and your will be a random pull. All are new, were stored correctly and show minimal wear (handling, not use)
