I was wondering about how old this one might be? Anyone know? The blades lock up tight, but the main blade I worn down a lot and it has pitting. Still, a knife with lot's of life left

Winchester made knives from 1919 to early 1942( originals not repos) Yours looks to be original so it's at least 79 years old. Watch those cell covers.

I collect Winchester Pocketknives and my knowledge of Winchesters tells me your knife was manufactured in the 1930`s. Likely Somewhere between 1930 and 1941. Mike

It’s possible. Of course they made it all these years so they’ll probably be okay. I’d just store it away from other knives.
