Found this old Winchester pocket knife at an estate sale. Marked Winchester Trademark USA on each blade. 2841 stamped on one blade.
Trying to post some pictures. Small 2 blade jigged bone handles.

Going to move this to the Traditional Forum.

Some "Winchester" knives were made for the owner of the brand, Bluegrass Cutlery, by Queen Cutlery (1987- late 1990's or early 2000's). They were carbon steel, so would age relatively quickly unless properly stored.

But there are also "Winchester" knives made earlier than that, by Winchester.

While the primary focus is 1919-1942 Winchester-branded knives, I don't think it would be out of place to discuss E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter-branded knives made during the Winchester era. Additionally, for comparison/discussion purposes, if you have any Napanoch and/or early Walden knives, feel free to show 'em. I think they will add to our appreciation of this particular slice of knife history.


Key dates/events:

1919 - Winchester Repeating Arms Company enters the cutlery market.

I’m trying to figure this posting pictures. This is a cool little knife .
 
I looked in my 1926/1927 Winchester catalog but unfortunately this knife 2841 is not listed
 
I see this knife in a reference book I have. "Winchester & Marble's Hardware Collectibles" by Roy Ehrhardt copyright 1973. It has the 2841 pattern as a 3" equal end pen knife with spear and pen stainless blades. Brass liners. Stag handles. Depending on the handles, sometimes a crest shield was included.
2037 - celluloid handle w/ crest shield. tip bolsters.
2038 - celluloid pearl handle w/ crest shield. tip bolsters.
2039 - celluloid handle w/ crest shield. full bolsters.
2840 - stag handle. tip bolsters.
2481 - stag handle. full bolsters.
