All About Pocket Knives

I have read that one of the contractors who made knives for wards was Winchester
I got this knife because I thought I might get lucky
but I wanted it because it is in good condition and I wanted to research it and find out who did make it
it say made in USA under Wards on the main blade, 385 on the other side of main
I can't make anything out on the smaller blade
it is 3 5/8 cigar jack, real bone, brass liners , NS bolsters, in my novice opinion

You did get lucky, it is a Winchester made knife.

Mick, these are great knives. Here's my only two.

thanks guys, now about cleaning up that pen blade?
the tip has corrosion you can feel, on inexpensive knives I use buffing and paint removing wheels on my dremel tool, which freaks out many here, LOL
I can use 2000 grade fine emery cloth or fine steel wool, it is soaking in WD40 now, another no-no till I get mineral oil
Love those Wards of yours FRJ, a equal end cattle and a reverse dog leg jack?
that end bolster is very nice, looks like you 'gently' cleaned them, the NS bolsters really shine, what did you do to them?

Thank you, Mick.
I can't think of the last time I cleaned a knife. It's not something I normally do.
I sharpen them and pack them and use them. That gets them pretty spiffy in time.

Here is a real Winchester cattle knife with a left over Napanoch punch blade stamped PAT'D 4/7/08.

good looking knife Jack, and a nice piece of history
thanks for sharing
Mick
