All About Pocket Knives

I will start with and old Winchester Scout

Knice bones Mr. Kennedy.

Gary, that's a very nice one. Beautiful bone on it.

Since Gary broke the ice on the new Winchester Forum, I'd like to add a few from the late '80s that I believe were made by Queen.

Hey, it's pretty cool that we got this new Winchester forum.

Here's a nice Winchester whittler.

Thanks for the new forum.

I believe this is the only Winchester I have and it's not an old one.

Below is a 1992 3-¾" closed Winchester W3049½ three blade, threaded & Crimped Bolsters. "Waterfall Celluloid"
I rescued this guy about 4 years ago. The lady at the swap meet I purchased it from said she does not remember where she got it from but that it has been in the box for years at her home.

This Winchester is a good example of how Celluloid Outgassing can affect the steel blades, bolsters, pins and frames but the handle will survive just fine. Only a little minor shrinkage at the bolsters.
The best way to store this little stick of dynamite is with the blades open and away from all his friends.

Here's my only older original Winchester I have.
The oldies are a bit difficult to find here on the West Coast. (At least for me)
Pattern #2933. 3" Bone Handle, one large Spear and one Pen, nickel silver tips, shield and liner.
Blades are snappy and tight. (No half stops)

Dan, I especially like the tipped bolsters and that beautiful bone.

Thank you doglegg.
Winchester sure made some quality knives.

I posted these on an Abalone thread already, but since there's now a Winchester forum . . .

Do Blue Grass Winchesters count?

Does Blue Grass Winchesters count?

Looks good to me

Many appealing knives being shown here. Am especially drawn to FRJs Whittler and Redrider's abalone.

I don't have any old Winchester knives but I do have this Blue Grass Black Box reproduction of the old pattern 1920, previously a Napanoch I believe. If I can find it this knife is available, albeit reluctantly so, as I do love this stag. 1991 mfg.

Holy molly guys!!!

Yo all boys have sum great Winchester there
Hi Ho Silver, And Away!
Got to post mine! Just waiting on a big tool sell off. Should have enough for a new camera and one or too knice knives...

Wait a sec! I got pics!!!

Just checked my laptop folders. Have quite a few to go...
First off;
Me 5" Blue Grass Cutlery, Burnt Orange Bone, de-swinged, cokebottle. I think either 1998 or 1999. Beast of a knife! Scary sharp. Bones are rogers jigged pattern. I guess queen purchased the rights and process to it back then, 30 years ago. I carryed it a bit. Great cardboard destroyer!
More to come!

Thanks to Stockman I have the pleasure of owning a few nice old Winchester’s!! Pics aren’t the best but Inwill post better pics later.

Hey Winchester!
Man you took mighty fine pics! Much better then mine. If you want to, take the coke bottle and pearl in front of those beautiful flowers! The really set the pictures up! Or on that piece of paper, guessing customer work order?
Here's some more of mine. All my winchesters i should say! Got to work on getting somemore into the family real soon! Just to many other knifes to pic from...
4 are pearl, 2 are burnt orange rogers bone, and 1 charcoal ruby.

You have one GREAT collection of Winchesters there Willy.
The "Pearls" are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.

I managed to get them in the right postition, in the right light, and at the right time. Even i'm still blown away at how good they look.
Thank you again Dan!

I have a bunch of Winchester knives that were in a big collection that I bought. Here is one that would date back to the 1920,s.

Don't get to see many of those Bert. Very nice. Thanks for showing it.

A few more more contemporary Winchesters (contract knives).

I always like when I see you have posted cause I know it is going to be something special.

Looks like each of these purports to be a Winchester (& I think they do pretty good):

What do you know Jerry, i just picked up the movie for $5 from Walmart. Can't wait to dig in and watch! Just really busy with other things taking up all my energy and time.
All sweet knives guys!!!
Really love your doctors knife Jerry!!!
Good stuff guys

I have only these two which I think were both made by Queen. According to MichaelWayneSexton ( from whom it was purchased), the 2904 1/2 Trapper with Italian jig bone was made using the same frame that was used for some of the Case Classics (62007 1/2, for example) which I believe were also made by Queen under contract to Case. (I really have no idea; I'm just parroting what I was told.)

Regardless of which company actually made it, however, it's a very fine knife...well built with a gator snap. I love the double sabre grind and swedge on the master clip blade, too.
This little Delrin Mini Trapper is not as high quality as the larger Trapper, but it's not horrible either. I'm not a big fan of Delrin, but the construction is decent...similar to late 80s/early 90s Case knives, IMO.
