Abit different than others but the back spring with wedge and 2 secondary blades (albeit not typical) along with a master clip blade makes it somewhat unique - and one can see why Winchester called it a Jr Stock Whittler based on the general design of a whittler...
Nice one, Lee.
I will say these look quite a bit alike. ::woot:: ::handshake::

Thanks Joe. Stamps on the Remington are worn (or light). Looks like it’s an R6755 pattern. I think they called that green Pyremite.

Yes, I think that is Pyremite. (I hope you spelled that right, I followed you.) :mrgreen:

I didn't see the Clauss. That is very nice too. Can we attribute the covers to Mr. Winterbottom?

Joe, that’s a beautiful MOP Keen Kutter! Hard to find MOP with shadow bolsters that aren’t cracked.

Yes, it’s Winterbottom.

Interesting knife. There’s a picture of one just like it (Winterbottom also) on page 143 of Sargent’s 7th edition, in the “Case Family Brands” chapter. The knife is stamped as a pattern # 33 which matches the description in Sargent’s. I bought the knife mainly because it is a whittler pattern, but also thinking it was made by Case. Steve Pfeiffer said he thinks it’s a Queen, and after examining the construction I believe he is right. Although it looks superficially like a Case 83 pattern, its construction is different than Tested era 83’s. However it’s also different than any Queen whittlers I have, although I don’t have any Queens of that vintage to compare. ::shrug::
