Love this thread.
I finally found a Sowbelly Stockman, this is the one that has been the hardest to find for me.
Just got this in the mail today.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Here are a couple of Vintage Winchester Sleeveboard Jacks I have. Pattern 2905 and 2907. I have also seen these Knives called Straight jacks and Texas Jacks. They are both 4 1/2" Long.

Ripster, I will use Benard Levine's definition from "Levine's Guide to Knives and Their Values". I'm sure he states it better than I could.Ripster wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 1:24 pmDavid what makes it a English Jack in your mind ?

English Jack is a term that was commonly applied to deluxe large-sized (over 4 inches) slim, regular, and sleeveboard jack knives.
Premium handle material, fancy bolsters, and locking master blade are often seen on them.
Most often have a single clip blade. Others have a spear blade instead. Some have a pen second blade.

It helps to have a Reference to start from . And never think to look in the few copies of Levine’s and others lying around here . It may seem crazy but still have a hard time with some of the pattern names . Like half Whittler , this or that . Then there’s the Carpenter Whittler from Camillus that some say isn’t a Whittler. Could go on and on so again “ Thank you “ for your quick and solid response and always something to learn .
Have a good one .

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Mailman brought me this Winchester 4950 Scout, Camp, Utility Knife today. I won an auction on the Bay. Been Hunting for this model for a while. Was wanting one with perfect bone with no cracks, full blades, lightly used and a knife that shows some age patina. The search is over.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Is that going to clean up enough to put with my knives?

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
I`m not going to clean it up. It`s 90 some years old and it will stay looking just like that. Thanks for inquiring Jack Knife Ben.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Vintage Winchester 2869 Gunstock. Recent addition to the collection. Hard to find. Blades have been sharpened. Somebody carried and loved this knife. Very happy to have it. 

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
That is a nice one.

Winchester Whittlers, Old & New. The Old Winchester dates to the Early 1920`s and the New One dates to 1997.
