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.

Beautiful knives guys! ::tu:: :D

I recieved this Winchester knife last week but just got around to taking pictures of it today. :D
The "Wannabe Lanyard" is just a leather strap with some knots & dopple knots I tied in it.
Works for me! :mrgreen:

I guess these were not produced in the US but it's well made with a nice F&F. ::tu::
Thanks for looking! ::handshake:: :D

By the way, despite the fact that it is stamped '88, the release was in 1991.

Picked this up in Germany in the early 90's. I have not seen another like it. Says 440 and hand made on blade? High quality. Possibly made by Seki?

Mailman brought me this Winchester Candy Stripe stockman today. I like it. No number on the tang, must have worn off.

Very neat pattern! Kinda like the current GEC Stockyard Whittler, in that you've got a Stockman Punch configuration set up like a Whittler.

I called it a Stockman but maybe it is a Whittler.

That's a new pattern on me. But man do I like it! Very nice indeed.
