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.

Great Knives. I'm very partial to rat tails.😊
That middle knife is knocked out. Is that a surveyor pattern? "

The middle knife, a 2908 pattern is called a Balloon Whittler. Thanks, Mike

Found this knife at a flea market. Not sure if it is a genuine Winchester, have tried to find it with google lens and random image searches, starting to think it's a knock off. It is heavy and has a nice feel to it, but odd to not find any images of it on the internet.

Bought this in the early 90's
It says 'hand made' on one side of the tang, and 440 on the other.
I've never seen another like this.
I think it may have been made in Japan?

It's been an excellent skinner and is razor sharp after a strop.

After GECs, the Queen made Winchesters are my favorite knives to collect. Here's my most recent additions.

Anyone else have a Winchester pocket knife and pocket watch combo to show off? I will offer mine. The Winchester jack is not in the best shape as I got it from my brother in law after he attempted to clean it up with a belt sander. The jack is a #995, also shown is a camper/scout style knife that is blade etched "The Winchester Store" and was made by L. F. & C. (but not marked). The pocket watch is an Ingersoll made, and the serial number puts it as made in 1907. Pocket watch runs, but I cant say if it keeps good time. Think Ill wind the watch and put them in my pocket to carry today.
