Appreciate your comments.doglegg wrote:ww usually lobster knives don't interest me but you have the exception. that is a very fine knife. Great old worn bones and wonderful shape and blades.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Redrider I put my EC Simmons Keen Kutter probably made by Winchester in that thread. I think you may be onto something with your theory.1967redrider wrote:Those are awesome!!!
I'm trying to figure out why antique Winchester knives are so scarce, given the number of pocket knives they produced? Working the E.C. Simmons angle to see if I can find some answers. If Simmons Hardware was taking all they could produce, under the Keen Kutter logo for 17 years, that might explain something.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Wish these two old Winchester’s were in better condition. One has the old double fluted NAPANOCH punch blade and PAT,D tang stamp and the other one has a perfect spey blade and punch.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Very nice, Jacknifeben! You should consider getting the pile side of the green knife re-scaled. I love that punch on old blue.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Here's one of my Winchesters to share, and promise to get some better photos of my Winchester Swell-End Jack in bone soon...
This is a Winchester Jr Stock Whittler (3046 on pile side of tang) which is a fairly rare pattern - Celluloid handles are faux horn (and though I'm not fond of celluloid I couldn't resist this one)... Blades have some spotting and tarnish but handles are stable. Much of the Winchester etch remains on master blade. Big thick wedge between the two springs...

Nice one, Lee. Do you know what year that one was made?
We are all just prisoners here of our own device.
In the master's chamber they gather for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives but they just can't kill the beast.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Thanks Q ... No doubt between 1929-1942 but I’m thinking earlier as it was noted in a reference (maybe Houston Zalesky) that if both blades have the pile side model #s than age is earlier than later over the time frame of Winchester - this knife does have both pile sides stamped with model # ... in truth really hard to pinpoint a year... here’s a catalog cut that was kindly provided by another member for this knife - and unfortunately I do not know the year of the catalog from this cut .. interestingly Houston Zalesky noted the pattern as a Jr Stock Whittler but this catalog cut refers to a 3 blade knife.. which is sometimes not unusual as names sometimes evolve but are rarely listed in the old catalogs...

I was fortunate to have picked up some nice ones in Lexington! Here’s a sneak peak. I will post more pics later.

Great looking knives!
Check out how similar a Keen Kutter champagne knife looks to the Winchester. Same knife?

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Here is a fancy 2908. In the book there are no grooved bolsters. Both blades stamped and the master clip is stamped 2908 on the back. Long pull on the pen is a little different.
