All About Pocket Knives

Both a fitting and wonderful gift. Not to mention an absolutely beautiful knife.

A beautiful acquisition, first by Iman then by you Q. Memorable.

Thanks Floyd and Garry, appreciate the looks and positive comments. The Monkey loves nothing quite as much as an attentive & appreciative audience to show off to (and who tolerates his absurd antics)

I realize that this insanity for ACSB cannot be allowed to continue running amok and unrestrained; however, in the immortal words of St. Augustine,

"Lord, give me chastity and continence, but not yet."

In that spirit...

Queen #96 ACSB Doctor
Well, well, well...looks like another miracle: it came in the correct box!

, another beauty!

Best one yet. Dr's knives have such a classy look.

Beautiful and elegant, Q. Augustine would understand.

This one is my last acquisition for what will probably be a very long time (famous last words, I know, but this time I really mean it!)

Queen #1L ACSB Swing Guard Lock Back

That one is a worthy last one. Enjoy what you have for a while and lucky for you that you have some great ones.

That swing gard is a knock out!!
Here is my latest Queen (City), #83

I love these Queen folding hunters!! That's the real deal here...very nice condition #39!!

Picked this 62 up at a peddlers mall for 20 dollars.. still have to clean her up, looks like someone started on the grinder and new that was a mistake and then tried cleaning the blade up, then gave up. Nice and tight..gator snap.
that last sentence...sounds...hmmm

Theo,
Great old Queen!
What year do you read that stamp to be on your #62? I can't quite figure it out. Can't find a match for it.
The one I have is a 61--71, it was advertised as "maker unknown".

The stamp was used from roughly 1973-1975. It is on the Version 8 Queen/Schatt tang stamp buide.

Hey Farmer, thanks buddy yes Rookie is correct on how I read it also somewhere between 71-75. I also bought an 11EO with no tang stamp, I am getting ready to take some pictures of it.

Found this today in Snow Hill, MD. Absolutely untouched or resharpened.. 11-3/4 L.O.A, 6-3/4" blade length. No pattern number. ?? Anybody recognize it? Any info appreciated. Thanks. Not normally my thing but it was too sweet to pass up. J.O'.

Good lookin' knife!
Not sure about the fixed blades. If it was a folder that stamp would be in the 1958-1960 era. Not sure if that applies to fixed blades. Somebody will be by with a more correct answer, I pretty sure.

Thanks, Just found an article on that knife. Harry Mathews of Queen bought a Randall on vacation in Florida in 1955. He is quoted as saying "He (Randall) can't make enough of these. We'll help him out". It's a model "78" and supposedly all the blades for the "78"s were forged in the first production run, not annually. When India stag could no longer be imported from Germany, (1978?) the handles were switched to stabilized wood. There are some very rare stacked leather, aluminum pommeled editions too. The" "78" is also said to be the only Queen to have the white leather laced sheath.
I am so glad to have found it today, just a lucky stumble. It's as close to a Randall as I'm ever going to get! J.O'.
