Winchester Serpentine Jack

Post by JohnR »

Picked up this Winchester serpentine jack this week. Seems to be legit, it is a very well made knife with beautiful bone. Have been looking for an old Winchester but they don't seem to crop up all that often in good condition.

I think you can stop looking now. Fine old knife there!

Well, I put in a search for Winchester and up popped "Winchester Serpentine Jack", the very pattern I wanted to show.
Pretty similar knives except Johns' knife has the secondary stamped and in front of the main blade.
Check it out.
