Winchester 2978 Doctors Knife
Pattern 2 Blade Jack Knife 1988 Repl of 1920 Orig.

            Exact
knife in photos.  Manufacturer was Taylor Cutlery of Kingsport,
TN, under license to Winchester Olin of New Haven, CT. Year of Production was
1989, and so marked on the reverse blade tang. Construction is chrome vanadium
carbon steel blades and backsprings; carbon steel rivets; nickel bolsters;
brass interior liners; and dark purple or black, genuine bone handles. Pattern
is 2 blade square bolster Jack Knife, or Doctor’s knife. Overall length closed
is 3 1/4 inches; Main Spear pattern blade measures 2 3/4 inches from heel to
point; 1 7/8 for the pen blade.  Note
that each blade has its own independent backspring. Finish is polished surface
metal, and polished picked surface handle panels. Markings are Winchester / -
Trade-Mark - / - Made in U.S.A. – obverse tang; Winchester / Trade Mark inked
on the blade’s obverse side; and 2978 / ‘89 reverse tang. Surface detractions
are minimal, only faint liner contact streaking on the blade surface. This
knife was never used or sharpened. It is a faithful and exacting replica of the
original 1920s production Winchester, and probably a better knife. Spring
strength and blade alignment are excellent.
It came to us from a well known Alabama trader 35 some odd years ago.
