Queen Cutlery Help
I was sharpening knives for my parents and my father pulled out his collection of pocket knives to have them sharpened. In them was what I think is a Queens Cutlery #9 stag stockman pocket knife from 1977-198?. I am not sure what year it is as there is no visible date. I am also not sure if this is an authentic Queens Cutlery piece. I am also trying to figure out how one might take this apart to clean it and hopefully restore it to its original state or as close as possible. Any help, information is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I posted this on another part of AAPK and someone replied that it was not a stag stockman and said it was maybe a Winterbottom's bone. He also said it could be from 1976.
Any confirmation or other information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Queen Cutlery Help
Definitely not stag.
Delrin. Faux Winterbottom bone.

Re: Queen Cutlery Help
Unless you have a lot of experience doing it, you don't want to take it apart to clean it. Cleaning can be done as is.

YES JUST START SANDING THE RUST OFF WHILE ITS TOGETHER. BUY SOME GOOD PAPER 200 TO 3000 GRIT SHOULD DO TO POLISH IT UP.I DO IT ALL THE TIME THEN USED BUFFER TO SHINE IT UP. NOT VERY HARD JUST A LOT OF ELBOW GREASE.

Re: Queen Cutlery Help
Thank you for the suggestion. I will try and see what I can do.
Re: Queen Cutlery Help
Just know that under that corrosion will be pits in the metal. The more you sand those pits, the larger they’ll get. I’d remove any active rust, polish the blades with some Mother’s Mag or semichrome and call it good. At this point you can make a good user out of it, but to get all the pits out you’d have to sand those blades paper thin. JMHO.
But it’ll make a great HOK (honest old knife) to pack!

Re: Queen Cutlery Help
I discovered this Queen Stockman this morning; didn't know I had it and it is not in my records. Very well made: everything tight, fine run-ups, and transitions from covers to bolsters are almost imperceptible. My question is about the handle material. Initially, I thought it was smooth black wood or possibly dark brown. When I got it in better light, I saw white streaks that one commonly sees in water buffalo bone.
Can anyone give me a positive i.d. on the covers? I believe this was made in 2002. That is the number beneath the Crowned Q followed by DFC.
Any help or info will be appreciated.

Garry, that is a fine looking knife!
I don't know enough about the newer Queens made by the Daniels family to make any other comment.

Re: Queen Cutlery Help
Thank you. I like it a lot. For using knives I've always preferred smooth covers.
Re: Queen Cutlery Help
Garry, your 'I didn't know I had' knives are knicer than my 'I'm glad I have knives'. Love the handles.

Re: Queen Cutlery Help
Thank you dogg. I should have written Water Buffalo Horn rather than bone. Am fairly confident it is horn.
Re: Queen Cutlery Help

Really like the Covers on that oneQuick Steel wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 9:31 pm I discovered this Queen Stockman this morning; didn't know I had it and it is not in my records.
