History Note
Winchester licensed knives were produced in the 1990s by Bluegrass Cutlery in Kentucky using original tooling from Queen Cutlery. These collector runs featured vibrant celluloid scales, traditional patterns, and quality carbon steel—a nod to the golden age of American cutlery. The 30081 stockman is among the most visually striking of the era.

Whether you’re rounding out a Winchester, Queen, or Bluegrass series, this knife hits a unique intersection of limited-run collectibility and working heritage. The dramatic swirl pattern gives it display appeal, while the steel and build make it carry-worthy.
