Show off your Winchester Knives

Winchester entered the knife market as a manufacturer in 1919 by acquiring two existing knife companies; Eagle Knife Co. of Connecticut & Napanoch Knife Co. of New York. Winchester stepped away from the market in 1942 to focus on war related manufactured products, but re-entered in the late 1980s by licensing its name to Blue Grass Cutlery. Blue Grass had high quality knives made by Queen Cutlery that featured the Winchester brand name for a handful of years until the license arrangement ran its course. Winchester eventually started licensing to other companies & now you will find the brand name used by several knife manufacturers by way of license agreements.

The 1950 lockback is a stunner. Other one not too shabby either.

My grandpa traded a guy a knife, and he came home with this old 3904 Winchester. He brought it over to show me yesterday, and I got a few photos of it. I just love old time jig bone.

He certainly has a knack for finding knives, and other knife guys. I'm lucky that he and I share a common interest.

It certainly is. It's funny to me, no matter where we go (even multiple states away from home) and he always knows someone.

Picked up an interesting plain bolster Winchester barlow. Winchester barlows are not easy to find in good condition, the plain bolster one is slightly longer, about 1/8" and has a slimmer profile and slightly longer blade. Not sure which is older the plain or the Winchester logo one.

Here is my only Winchester 1997 Red Bone #3908 - I rescued it out of a glass case in a antique/flea market, it was sitting close to an outgassing Remington 2001 or 2002 Bullet. So far it has not shown any signs of contamination.

I do. I had to page back to Page 2 to see the pictures I posted, don't think I have added any since then.

*Edit- I have some Abalone ones as well.

May have picked up a Black Box one here and there since
