All About Pocket Knives

This is an oldie. Two blades on one side and a key on the other? The key tool doesnt look to be home cut as the backside of it is rounded. Celluloid handles.

Tang stamps: "Winchester Trademark Made in USA", either "300" or "3000", "Pat'd 4/7/06"

Ive never seen one of these.

Any input on this one is appreciated.

It's a cattle knife with a punch blade.

Thats it. Thank you sir.

That's a Napanoch punch so definitely early as I don't believe they used that punch for the entirety of their existence. I could be wrong though so don't take that as gospel.

They definitely did not use that punch for long, most of the early Winchesters were made by Walden and they used a different punch. So, early 1920's. Incidentally, most of these cattle knives had a picture of a steer's head on one side, you often see them marked as Keen Kutters and Winchesters, but rarely with the Napanoch punch.

Could have looked like this when new??

With sunken joints, I might add.

A little late to the party ! Here is my only Winchester. Cattle knife .The master blade tang stamp is the same as your knife on the show side pile side tang master blade has the # marked clearly {#3009) .the show side cover marked Winchester over cattle knife.back side covers has faint outline of steer head . I see no patent # on the punch and looks. to different style .that makes me think that my knife was produced at a latter year date perhaps by Walden from the information provided by msteele6 & ea42..I wouldn’t think the model # on the cattle knifes would have been changed .

The page I showed above is a reprint shown in a Winchester and Marbles Collectors guide. It does not have a reference to a year. Sorry.
