I like that Coleman! The tang stamp made me smile. Who makes the knife for Coleman?

Took exactly a week. Pulled the trigger last Monday and it showed up today. Sure surprised me.

I don't know Suitcase. I just know some are made in Japan and some in China.

Know what year that is? Very nice stag, beautiful knife all around. Thought Queen made some for them, but don't know about all of them. Thanks if you have any info.

Ivoryman,

It looks & feels like a Queen & it wasn't priced like it was made by Tennessee Knife Works. So, 2006 or later is my guess. The fit & finish are very good and each blade has a smooth, strong snap but each blade has a tiny, tiny wobble, too.

I'm about 75% sure that's a Queen build, on the 49 frame. The only Queen stockman I still lack.

Pics borrowed from this AAPK store listing (price is a little high and no "Make Offer" button otherwise this beauty would already be sold

).

Tsar Bomba,

Other than the scales, I think that Queen is a perfect match for the Colonel Coon in my pocket. Thanks.

This Boker just walked in that I got from the guy selling the Stidham knives. He put in the BRIEF description.... "punch blade is loose". well here it is and now I know why. He failed to mention one of the SPRINGS WAS BROKEN......

So, now I have to take it apart and make a new spring.
All I wanted to do was a little clean-up and tote it for a while....BUT NOOOOOO... Major surgery ahead.

Y'all can buy from him if you want.... BUT as for me....Stick in the knife and fork.....I am done!

He never had anything I thought I needed at the prices he wanted, but everybody knows I'm a cheapskateing bottom feeder.

Well, he got me with the huge discount....

Starting price..... $189.99
Discount........... $142.49
WOW! ONLY.........$47.50

He threw the lure and I bit hook line and sinker.

The blades looked good.... not a lot of wear.

I don't need any more of those Stidham knives.

Tsar Bomba,

I finally got around to looking at the box the Colonel Coon came in. It looks sorta generic for Colonel Coon Knives. High carbon 440 SS, N/S bolsters & brass liners. And, the sticker has "CC49." What more could you ask?

Tsar Bomba · Post by **Tsar Bomba** » Tue Oct 02, 2018 11:54 pm

Sounds like a Queen to me! You got a good one, won't be any more of those made!

TwoFlowersLuggage · Post by **TwoFlowersLuggage** » Thu Oct 04, 2018 3:52 am

This little Ka-Bar pen came today. It has NO model number on the tangs. It was listed at having stag handles, and I think they might be - but I'm not sure? I couldn't find this exact tang stamp in the Ka-bar charts. Is it somewhere in the 1950s or 60s? Last weekend I had a run of wins of knives that are not in my usual comfort zone. Learning new things is fun!

Scott, nice to see your merchandise show up again. Beautiful Buck knife.

What is the top black handled one on the right side?

Old Hunter · Post by **Old Hunter** » Fri Oct 05, 2018 9:53 pm

First knife delivery to our new home came today; one of the offshore “thank you” knives the NRA sends for financial donations. The knife looks nice, two sharp blades in a Moose pattern. However it has all the charm of a Chinese knife; gritty, mild snap, very slight amount of blade wobble - but just right to gift a kid for a first “training knife.” OH

Garry, I really like that Patriotic Kirinite.

It was a three 'fer Thursday.

Quick Steel · Post by **Quick Steel** » Sat Oct 06, 2018 5:51 pm

Glad you like it Jerry. I do too. Interesting shield and bolsters on your Trapper. I have to exercise caution with the RRs. For me they are like potato chips; can't just have one.

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Sat Oct 06, 2018 6:30 pm

I hear ya Garry. They're so doggone inexpensive, you think "wow, it's only $15" and before you know it you have a half dozen and the bill is over $100.
