Question on Queen fixed blade

Post by terryl308 »

Just bought this Queen fixed blade knife (no sheath) and was wondering if anyone had seen one like it and could give me some info. It is a 1/8" thick, 6 7/8" blade, one inch wide blade with stag hidden tang constructed handle that has 5 spacers, white, red, white, red, and white, the red being about 3/16 thick and the white about 1/8. It has a 1/4" brass guard. The blade is etched with "Queen Steel" with the crown and the tang has the 1958-60 style stamp. The grind and blade shape is close to a Randall #3. The handle is sambar stag I'm sure. thanks in advance. Terry

I've never seen a Queen like that, but it's a beautiful knife.

thats it treefarmer! Exactly what I was looking for! That catalog is a 1960 and is called a number 78, combat/hunting knife. I've never seen one before. sold for $86.40 per doz. I hope it's worth more than that now! I pad about $65 for it on a online auction. Thanks for the info. Terry ::tu::

A really fine looking knife. It looked so much like a Randall when I first saw it, my eyes popped a little. ::tu::

Thanks for the reply, That blade shape is what attracted me to it. It is thinner than the randalls however. I think I will make a sheath for it and maybe put it on ebay and see what happens. Terry ::tu::
