All About Pocket Knives

I just found out that I have nine knives with Carmen punch blades. I have always called them double fluted punch blades. They were only found on NAPANOCH and Winchester knives until Jack Knife Ben contracted them to make some for his shop in Union stock yards in Chicago. Seven of my knives are from very early Jack Knife Ben and the top two of the five are Winchester.

Nice looking lineup!

Thanks for posting these pictures. I've not seen this style before.
As I've never owned a knife with a punch, I always look at them.
One of these days..............

Nice lineup Jacknifeben ... these double fluted punches were shown on the Winchester/ Napanoch thread under Knife Lore where I first saw them not long ago... I assume these are all Cattle knives?? I would love to find a Winchester Harness Jack with one of these ...

Very nice knives indeed, JKB! Thanks for posting them; I had not seen that punch before.

Thanks JKB. Very interesting and informative.

Great knives! Charlie had some sfo’s from GEC with them also

Hello Jackknifeben
I have the same brown bone Winchester as you do.
Can you tell me if your secondary blade on that knife has a tang stamp?
Mine does not.
Thanks!

No stamping on the spey blade and the punch blade only has the partially seen 4/7/08.

Thanks for the info.
Mine is exactly the same.
