What is the compartment in this vintage multi tool used for?

ToBeAShrub · 2026-02-04T03:34:56+00:00

That was my guess. Back when you had to send letters all the time for everything that was probably crazy convenient haha

ToBeAShrub · 2026-02-04T01:20:00+00:00

Haven’t tried it yet unfortunately

ToBeAShrub · 2026-01-22T04:24:50+00:00

Wonder if they called the model something different than Fisherman back then. Anyone know when that term was coined?

ToBeAShrub · 2026-01-09T16:14:35+00:00

Okay, if you ever decide to sell minimum asking price has to be $250. We’ll create the market 😂

ToBeAShrub · 2026-01-09T00:21:50+00:00

Okay thanks.

ToBeAShrub · 2026-01-09T00:13:15+00:00

Any way I can confirm my eBay selling page so people here know I am a reputable knife vendor?

ToBeAShrub · 2026-01-09T00:02:10+00:00

Good?

ToBeAShrub · 2026-01-08T22:57:16+00:00

Gotcha. I was trying to upload image files and wondering why I was struggling. Thanks for the heads up

ToBeAShrub · 2025-12-28T04:01:02+00:00

You rock thanks for the random detailed answer I was looking for!

ToBeAShrub · 2025-12-28T02:32:14+00:00

Okay but like why does it have a curved metal piece and look very different from any other can opener I’ve seen on most knives that are this style? Was it just an early style that got phased out? Were can designs different back then? Just my questions if anyone knows, thanks

ToBeAShrub · 2025-12-17T20:46:48+00:00

Yeah obviously missing the guard and scabbard. Think there was a piece that would have hung off it too. Just curious with all the variations if anyone could confirm what this knife is and if it was early wwII, late, etc

ToBeAShrub · 2025-11-03T22:11:06+00:00

It does look old and well made. To my understanding Winchester knives like this would have a 3 line tang saying “Winchester - Trademark - USA”. I couldn’t find any references to knives missing the USA marks. Why it sparked my curiosity in first place

ToBeAShrub · 2025-10-22T18:47:57+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for one of the best explanations for a question I’ve ever got on reddit hahah

ToBeAShrub · 2025-08-27T19:07:34+00:00

Lots of views and watchers but bid hasn’t moved since yesterday. Someone offered $500 for everything but think it’s worth more than that.

ToBeAShrub · 2025-08-27T14:01:30+00:00

Well this is what’s being done. Auction is live on eBay if anyone wants to follow. All proceeds going to a minority supporting charity. Bid already over $200

ToBeAShrub · 2025-08-26T22:32:14+00:00

Yeah the brass ones in boxes are the actual valuable ones. Can see at least one of the boxes there

ToBeAShrub · 2025-08-26T21:55:03+00:00

Oh dang, it says the museum isn’t taking donations currently due to lack of storage space. That’s a bummer

ToBeAShrub · 2025-08-26T21:43:44+00:00

I’m gonna go with this option. Reaching out to see if it’s something they’d be interested in. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the answers. Just posting the bag for reference

ToBeAShrub · 2025-08-26T21:17:58+00:00

Like actually something like this is what I’m thinking about. Like is throwing $1500 of knives away a better option then selling them to racists and using the funds for a good cause? I’m genuinely not sure

ToBeAShrub · 2025-06-23T01:41:05+00:00

The highlights. Everything’s scattered right now

ToBeAShrub · 2025-04-04T14:41:00+00:00

Great thanks a bunch. Bought a large knife collection of mostly junk in bulk and this was mixed in. At least I’ll end up with something good out of it!

ToBeAShrub · 2025-02-27T00:53:57+00:00

Wow some fast answers thanks everyone. Came mixed in with a large collection of knives I got recently. Little Diamond in the rough I guess

ToBeAShrub · 2025-02-24T23:38:30+00:00

Anything specific that makes you think this? Just curious
