Winchester Knife

Winchester entered the knife market as a manufacturer in 1919 by acquiring two existing knife companies; Eagle Knife Co. of Connecticut & Napanoch Knife Co. of New York. Winchester stepped away from the market in 1942 to focus on war related manufactured products, but re-entered in the late 1980s by licensing its name to Blue Grass Cutlery. Blue Grass had high quality knives made by Queen Cutlery that featured the Winchester brand name for a handful of years until the license arrangement ran its course. Winchester eventually started licensing to other companies & now you will find the brand name used by several knife manufacturers by way of license agreements.

Winchester Knife

Post by enuf »

I have this Winchester knife, actually got it in the knife trade gig on here, anyway - all it says on one blade is "Stainless Steel" - is this a Winchester, USA or China, or what is the deal with it - looks old. I think my question is mostly for knowledge in case I run across another similar marked knife.
