All About Pocket Knives

Hi, I'm the Newbie from the CASE XX side of life. Recently came across a folding machete under a bed. It's only marking is JAPAN on the tang and the blade cover. No other marker markings. Blade is tight and in good condition. Does anyone have any information on the history and worth? Thank you, ><>...

Must be a special day to carry that one. Only right to lay it on a silver certificate bill.

I see what they did on that dollar knife but I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it. Pretty clever blade etch.

I missed it too.

Iman and bones. Synonyms.

My bad.

D.L. if look on the Queen forum you will see some threads addressing this. One thought is that Bear & Sons is making the new line of queens for SMKW.
This is a new Queen, in the photos below.

Thanks for the info GSP....

And they look good. Sweet old knife.

Bingo. If you look real close in the right light, you can see a little of "Tree Brand " etch. I've liked this knife a long time.

Very awesome bones!

Not an expensive knife but I like it's design. Bought a stockman just like it and gave it to a boy at church. This one will probably end up like the first one. Got to infect the next generation.

What a wonderful bunch of fixed blades! Two post worth!

Anyway to identify when this was made or issued?

Wonderful Bowie QS.

Sweet bones Tony.

Thanks TMK! ::super_happy:: I have many fixed blade knives but the one pattern that has always been big favorite is the old and venerable Schrade Sharpfinger. Just a great little knife that seems to fit any purpose short of chopping. Below are a few of them from my collection... Charlie, you are a ...

A very attractive and useful knife.

This one has 2 blades but not orange.
