"Black Box" Winchesters

[waynorth]

More penance. The weight of guilt from my previous visual representation of this big fella has become more than I am able to shoulder. This seems to lighten the load a bit.

This stream of atonement is quite gratifying, Greg!! Please keep it up!!

In an effort of self rescue, I fear that I must. Soon.

Stockman from 1987.

 

[mckgreg]

A different version from my last one on page 18 or 19. There are still 1 or 2 that deserve a redo.

[mckgreg]

Did this one a bit different.

No other series of knives gives me so much excitement when I open the box It's like a kid with a pocket-knife at Christmas...don't we all get that adrenaline rush ? This Stockman when I first got it a few years ago, it's been used a lot since and is a real favourite.

If you look at this knife in the closed position you can see why the spine of the spey blade is ground the way it is.

That's actually really cool.

 

[mckgreg]

Yes, I agree with you. I have heard that blade called a Turkish Clip (not even close) and other names too. If there is a correct term for it, I don't know for sure what it is.
I did some poking around a few years ago and found it being called a Dutch Clip. I'm not sure if that is correct or not. Whatever it happens to be, it's enables access to the pull on the saber ground blade.

that’s the best looking trapper I think I’ve seen

Lil' Doctors Knife.

One of my favorites. The image is a bit tall but I couldn't downsize it any further without it losing any more shape. Dang it.
Greg

 

[mckgreg]

The shape of the frame prevents the 3 backsprings from adding too much weight to the piece and making it a pocket anchor. Decent sized secondary blades.
Greg

 

[mckgreg]

Still my favorite. The Stockman Whittler. The blades have such a bright finish it's difficult to get the light just right.

That knife is an excellent example of a SowbellyStockman!!
Another instance of the Underated (-well made!!) BB Winchesters!!

 

[mckgreg]

I agree with you whole heartedly. Here's a very pocket friendly piece with a lot of cuttin' power. Looks cool too.
Greg

Gonna have to change lenses on my camera. I'm having to downsize the images way to much. I could just post them way oversized, but that's a little rude.
And lazy.

Coffin Jack. Apart from CASE/Bose I don't think any recent manufacturer has tried it? Beautiful finish on these.

 

[mckgreg]

Here's one I pulled from page 18 or 19. I'm happy enough with the image so I didn't re-shoot it. Mr. Erickson mentioned that the design on the front bolster is what you would see done when using a knurling tool.

I don't know what you mean by "recent" but Utica made one.

I have 4 Queen made Winchesters. All are exceptional.
