Hey guys,

Another stupid question. I've recently found a 1974 or older Winchester Lady Leg, single blade knife in near mint condition. It sport the red, yellow & white plastic candy strip handle slabs & looks as if it may have been sharpened but VERY hard to tell. I was wondering if anyone out there collects them & if anyone would know the appox. value? I traded a bunch of Chineese trash knives for it, a Schrade, 3 Boker knives. I know it was a great deal but was told this particular knife may be very valuable. Any ideas. Let me know.

Thanks & God Bless!~

Swede,

I believe Winchester stopped making knives right after the beginning of WWll, to concentrate on firearms.....Authorized reproductions began around 1987, through Blue Grass Cutlery.
There were some unauthorized, inexpensive knives, made in Germany, that sometimes showed up at gunshows and the like, late 70s and early 80s, I believe. I don't know what you have??
