Laughable Winchester Fake

Cheap non-US modern knife with bad Winchester stampings. I supposed it's meant to be a Wharncliffe pen, but it's a modernized design and has no pattern number.

That's the start of what's wrong with it.

I appreciate these "learning" posts. I am more able to pick up on small and important things to look for. I think the tang stampings are amiss and the stag looks to me like case stag?? I cant find any Winchesters old or Queen made that look like this knife. If I can learn enuff stuff, I may venture into picking up some older knives, which I realyl do appreciate.
thanks for these type posts.

Looks like something Paki Stan cranked out in his garage. ::doh:: The Wild Turkey line comes to mind when I look at this knife.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I put this knife on my watch list and received an offer to buy it for $240 plus TT&L. Should I counter for 25 cents? ::shrug::
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
