Vintage Winchester Model 2967 Jack Knife – 1988 – Jigged Delrin Handles – 2-Blade Folding Pocket Knife

This vintage Winchester jack knife from 1988 carries forward the American cutlery tradition with rugged style and reliable function. Featuring two blades—a spear point and clip point—this Model 2967 is built with jigged Delrin handles, nickel silver bolsters, and a traditional shield inlay. At 3 7/8" closed, it offers a slightly larger frame than many pocket jacks, making it equally at home as a working tool or collectible display piece. The long spear blade is tang-stamped WINCHESTER TRADEMARK – MADE IN USA, while the reverse tang bears 2967 ’88, giving it a clearly dated place in Winchester’s revival-era production.

📜 Historical Note:
Winchester first became known for their firearms, but their cutlery line in the early 20th century established a strong foothold among collectors and working men alike. Revived in the 1980s, Winchester knives such as the Model 2967 were crafted to echo their earlier classics. The dated tang stamps make these knives particularly collectible, as they represent a short and well-documented production run.

🧲 Collector’s Note:
The Winchester revival knives from the late 1980s are sought after for their clear dating, solid American construction, and faithful adherence to traditional patterns. This Model 2967 offers both a larger pocket presence and the historical appeal of a precisely dated 1988 production, making it a standout piece in any collection.
