John,

More later,
Ray

[jmh58]

Thank you, Ray!! John

John, it's a good looking knife and I can understand why you want one. Unless you're looking to trade or get it a little cheaper there's one for sale right now on eBay -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Winchester-USA- ... 519f583e94

I think it's even listed by one of our members here. North 40 Cutlery? It's new, no box. He has it listed at the "North end" of what they usually go for but it's free shipping. (standard disclaimer: Not my knife, not my auction, I have no dog in the hunt)

I did quite a bit of research on availability and prices before I bought mine and had never seen one with pearl handles but there is one of the pearl models for sale in an AAPK member's store. Wow. A must have if you're into pearl and have the $$$$.

You've probably looked at all those so I'm hashing over old news but ya never know so just in case...

N 40 is a prompt shipper and good to do biz with.

John,
Well, I can't find the mint one I thought I had. I guess I either dreamed it or maybe I sold it.
The only one I have is listed in my store and it is an early one from 1920 to 1940. There is a link at the bottom of this page. If it is of interest to you, let me know and I'll make you the best price I can.

Ray, that is a real beauty and if I were a man of means, I'd take that one off your hands in a New York minute. But alas...

[Paladin]

Thanks Jerry.
The knife has an elegance to it. Very nice and fancy top bolsters and the coffin bolsters on the bottom just set it off.
If John isn't interested, I can work out a lay-away plan if you'd like to.

Ray

[jmh58]

Pass on that one.. Thanks Ray..

Still on the hunt.... John

[jerryd6818]

Outta my league Ray but thanks for the offer.

[woseyjales]

John I got one but you cain't have it.
I'm sure you'll understand.
I'll keep my ears peeled for ya tho.
Bound to be one out there somewhere.

[Elvis]

I've got a Bluegrass Cutlery one from the late 80's or early 90's with black jigged bone in the box. If you're interested, just come up with a good trade.

[jerryd6818]

Keen Kutter called it a 'Gun Stock Jack' but when it was reproduced in 1987 the Winchester W15 2921 was called a 'Coke Bottle Jack'.

[woseyjales]

Elvis I'm 99% sure that's the one JMH is looking for.
I'll send him a PM w/a heads up so as to speed up the process.
I just luv these knife deals that don't co$t me anything.

Yer killin me jerry.. Cut that out!! NOW!!! John

[jerryd6818]

I wanted one for quite some time before I finally got one. This is one knife that did not disappoint. This one and the 2857 Teardrop Jack.

jerry.. wosey showed a pic of his a while ago and I knew I had to get one.. I have faith that things will happen and I will.. Thanks for showin your cj.. Yer still killin me though!!! John

[jerryd6818]

Yeah, Wosey's pictures are much better than mine and can make ya drool over an old rust bucket. When it's a picture of one like the 2921, it just makes ya go nuts. Post it when ya get it.

[1967redrider]

I just realized I have one of them; a 2921 GS from 1992 in goldstone. 3 1/2" with unique bolsters, I just thought it was a medium coke bottle. Way cheaper than the Tony Bose designed Case coffin jacks, I think I paid $105 for it on e-Bay 3 or 4 years ago in a last minute bidding battle.





They are beauties!

Sorry, I'm not ready to part with this one just yet.

[Jody744]

i got one of those and love it!
price was better than the tony bose case has to offer

edit: didn't read all the posts above!!!!!!
funny both mentions of price
i have the black handled one, just got it in march
at knife show in dalton, ga

[jerryd6818]

I would like to own one of those Tony Bose Coffin Jacks but the $300+ most folks are asking is waaaaay rich for my pocketbook. I never thought I'd see the day when I thought $290 for a knife was a bargain.

[jmh58]

jerry.. I want one of those TB CJ BAD.. But I am waaayyyy too cheap to spend that kind of green.. Thats why the Winnie will do just fine for me!! John
