Ontario Knife Old Hickory 612

Post by oldblinddog »

Anyone have any info about these? This one is new in the box but the celluloid handles are cracked through the pins.

I have not seen that pattern before, but I have a single blade jack Old Hickory .
My handle certainly appearers to be Delrin, not celluloid.

Nice pattern. I don't see many of the Old Hickory folders on ebay.
When I do see them they usually bring a good price, better than I would expect.

Old Hickory pocketknives were made by Queen, sister company of Ontario Knife, in the 1970's. I do not know the exact years. I have an Ontario Knife catalog from 1976 that shows a number of Old Hickory pocket knives and hunting knives, all Queen made.

Handles are delrin and blade steel is most likely 440C.

The one I have seems that it could well be 440C.

I have the same knife with the box, never used. Any idea what the value would be?
