Features

The tang is the part of the blade that reaches into and through the knife’s grip giving the knife more strength. The handles of all Winchester knives are either wood or imitation Micarta. Micarta is a composite of linen or paper fabric that is cured in plastic.

The Large Bowie knife features the standard Bowie blade. Two of the Winchester hunting knives feature a gut hook blade. Two others have drop point blades. The blades of the Three Blade Folding knife are a clip point, a gut hook, and a saw blade.
