Anyone care to venture a guess what this is? Besides a filthy old jack knife. Seems to have no markings whatsoever. Cleaned tangs a little, used magnifier and nothing. I mean not one letter or number anywhere. They are gone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

The bones look similar to this Brantford.

If 3 5/8" I believe it could be a Queen knife. Many were only lightly etched on out on the master blade. What is the closed length?

It's almost exactly 3-5/8 closed.

I've not heard of Brantford but the one you show is really nice. I see the similarity but I'm afraid this bad boy never looked that nice. I got it for $10 so not much is lost no matter. I'm thinking of cleaning it up and doing a slight re-profile on that broken blade.

Wanted to make sure I wouldn't be destroying an heirloom. Actually, someone beat me to that.

That looks like a queen, but I don't know for sure.

I agree with the above, I had a Queen very similar to this knife.

It's a shame the tip is broken.

Yeah it is a shame about the broken tip. I guess no use crying over broken tips is the position I have to take now . I think you guys are right about it being a Queen. I went to the Queen section of this forum and found a picture of one almost just like it. Thanks so much for the info. You fellows are most helpful!!

It appears to have a good bit of age don’t you think?

Fixed it up a bit. This is the same knife in the original post but cleaned a bit and re-profiled that broken tip. It has a new lease on life!

Looks great!

Thanks Steve. At least I'm no longer afraid of tetanus while packing it around.

Hi rugmar! Late welcome to the forums!
You did a great job on the old girl...

Looks so much nicer now. I would be proud to carry her any day.

Some of my old well used Sears Sta-Sharp knives have similar looking bone. These were made by Camillus in 1930's.
