Found these on a trip to Illinois. Voss USA, Winchester 2921 over '87 and a Robeson 72203 MOP. If anyone could provide info on these I'd appreciate it!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
The Winchester is most generally referred to as a Coffin Jack. It was made by Queen in 1987 as part of what's called the Black Box Series (because they came in black boxes
). I believe it was patterned after the Keen Kutter Gunstock Jack. It's been copied a time or two. I've had three. One got traded away and one was gifted to someone. I just can't resist them when they show up at a bargain. One of my favorite knives.
The one with the red background is mine.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Thanks.jerry! This is my first Winchester. I appreciate the history on it. It's a well made knife. I think I'll put it in EDC rotation.

Nice finds everybody!

I knew you would come back with a good haul. I have one like that little Colonial in the middle and for some reason I like those knives.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked this one up at the show this weekend. It is an Eye Brand really big sod buster with toothpick and tweezers tucked away in the handles. I have always called this a display knife but KJ says it is a big user. By big, I am talking 8¼ inches long.

I frequently wished that sodbusters would be bigger than the usual. Well, Ray, this one rings my bells like no other.

In Eye Brands, what we think of as the 'normal' size sodbuster is 4¾ inches long. The shorter one is called a junior but there is a one size larger than the 'normal'. It is about an inch longer and seldom seen. I haven't run across one in several years but it would be ideal to fulfill your wish for one 'bigger than the usual'. I'm guessing that not many were made.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I had a Sodbuster as my EDC back in the mid-70's and a Sodbuster Junior a few years back. I never fell in love with them. To each his own.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I've got one of the regular ones and it's the same length as the Case sod buster but seems to be a much more substantial knife, and it's got real wood handles. You do not (repeat) YOU DO NOT want your fingers near the blade when it closes, I'm talking alligator here.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Picked up a few more at an estate sale yesterday:
1983 Case XX Duralock A 7 Dot w/nice original nylon pouch. I would say it's excellent to near mint.
Pre 1986 Buck 102 w/Sheath in mint condition
1986 Buck 123 in mint condition...never used, sharpened or carried w/mint sheath
2007 Remington Sportsman Series knife set, still sealed in wood case.
Schrade 152OT Sharpfinger. Not sure of year. It's been used, but still in great shape. Original leather sheath.
