Traditional Winchesters

[Kdarmy]

I see a lot of posts about "tactical knives" but few about traditional slip joint type knives, for those who still enjoy them...

I posted a similar pic a long time ago of some Winchesters but after 3 years of looking for all the ones I needed to complete my collection, It is done

My theme was this: I collected every Winchester pattern offered between the years 1987-92 which has a Peachseed, Rogers or Brown Bone handle. The idea here is that they all appear the same, dark bone handles.

1987 is when the Winchesters were brought back into production using the same dies and bone material as the originals. These are made by Queen Cutlery and distributed by Blue Grass Cutlery. Book value of these are just over $3,000.00

The fun over the 3 years was trying to find each one I needed. There was an 8 month span before I finally found the last one...I guess I can die now

Problem now is I don't know what I will start next? All the Stags...?

My dad loves those Winchester knives. He was a gun collector before knives and he's always enjoyed Winchester items. He has Winchester advertising, crates, watches, you name it. Doesn't have a whole lot of the old Winchester knives yet but he's working on it.

Well I hope the photos come up for you all. I was with Photopoint but am now using Ofoto, I only got the pics to come up once when I first posted but not since...? Maybe they are just down for the day.

I'm a little more scattered in my collecting of slip joint traditional patterns.
I collect Doctor patterns.There is a large world out there.
I also collect Trappers.
I will never have them all but I've got them working swingshift.

Well after a lot of effort, I finally got my pics to work now, I had to start my own home page to do it, but at least now Ive got only myself to blame if they dont work now.
