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.

Nice knife ::tu:: ... That knife and particularly handles are very reminiscent of Eagle Knife Co which Winchester acquired for knife making ... Eagle was known for banging out high production knives...

That's a nice commemorative set stanwade, I have never seen that one before. Winchester M21 that is an outstanding hunter you picked up. Here are couple of my recent finds. A 2995 jack knife and a 3929 congress whittler. The jack had rust along top of both blades and I have cleaned it as much as I am comfortable doing.
