Lot 1481:
Winchester 2008 Limited Edition Hunter and Group of Three Fixed Blade Knives with Sheaths
Description
This lot consists of a group of three fixed blade knives, each accompanied by its respective sheath. The primary item is a Winchester 2008 Limited Edition hunting knife featuring a recurve belly stainless steel blade. The left side of the blade is etched with the Winchester rider logo, the text WINCHESTER, and 2008 Limited Edition. It is constructed with polished wood handle scales secured by two pins and features a polished steel bolster. This knife is housed in a black ballistic nylon sheath embroidered with the Winchester logo.
The second item is a commemorative Bowie-style knife with a stainless steel clip-point blade. The blade face features a printed scene of a buffalo herd with green accents and the words ORIGINAL BOWIE KNIFE. The ricasso is stamped STAINLESS CHINA. The handle is a black textured synthetic grip with a chrome-finished crossguard and pommel. It includes a black leather-look sheath printed with the white text BOWIE MESSER.
The final knife is a hunting knife featuring a stainless steel drop-point blade. The ricasso bears a vertical stamp reading STAINLESS STEEL alongside a circular monogram containing stylized M and T characters. The handle is composed of polished dark laminated wood (likely pakkawood) with white, red, and brass spacers, brass pins, and a brass crossguard. It is paired with a black leather-look sheath featuring a snap-closure retaining strap.
Condition report:
The Winchester 2008 Limited Edition knife appears in excellent condition with a clean factory finish on the blade and handle (photo 7). The buffalo-themed Bowie knife shows minor wear to the printed graphics on the blade, and the accompanying sheath has minor scuffing and white residue on the reverse (photo 5). The laminated-handle hunting knife displays visible green verdigris oxidation on the brass guard and pins, and the blade shows surface scuffs and minor spotting (photo 4). All three sheaths are structurally sound with functional fasteners.
