Winchester Mystery Knife
Winchester Mystery Knife
I got this Winchester knife with a cracked bone handle as a project. I put a spent Winchester cartridge butt end as the shield and reworked the missing bone with epoxy and dye. I'm almost finished. Got a little more polishing to do. My question is what is it? It has Winchester Trade Mark Made in USA stamped on every blade but absolutely no model number on any blade. I've looked in my 3 knife books and online but cannot come up with anything. I also cannot find this pattern anywhere with these elongated bolsters which makes me suspicious. Does anyone have an opinion on it's origins and date of manufacture?
Today is a great day to buy another knife you don't need.
Re: Winchester Mystery Knife
I have an opinion. And it is that you did a great job on the handle repair. Can't help with your question but thanks for sharing the pics.JTAdkins wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2025 2:52 pm I got this Winchester knife with a cracked bone handle as a project.
