All About Pocket Knives

I do like that muskrat! The fish knife is fine, too, but muskrats really rings my bell.

Not my thing either but if I ran across one and could afford it, it would go home with me, absolutely gorgeous knife. x1000.

Nice knives man

Big H: If I revealed what I paid for it they'd swear I was lying. I almost never say because it looks like bragging. I find my stuff in little shops that are more into lamps and dished and don't really bother too much with knives. Aside from the gas it costs me they're usually well priced, a whole lots less than e-bay.
I've had a few offers for it but I'm going to enjoy it for a while. J.O'.

Some new Queens I picked up from an estate sale. I am including an S&M in the pile, for association purposes only...and a possible Queen stockman maybe...

Here are a couple of "stockmen" I picked up pictured together. The bone handle looks like it might be a Queen. It looks like maybe the bone is not original. I don't see any markings on it, so I'll leave it up to the experts.... .... ....anyone out there have an idea? Could it be a Queen?

Knice bunch you got there. I'm really liking the toothpick!

GSPTOPDOG,
I would almost bet the farm that the knife is a Queen made in the '61-'71 era, no tang stamps. It certainly looks like well-worn Winterbottom handles. If we had a closed length might come up with a pattern number.
Her's a picture of one of my EDCs, a #49 well-worn Winterbottom jigged bone handle that has lost all the original color, very similar to yours. Treefarmer

I used to have a lot of luck finding great knives and sweet prices in little shops... but now everyone in those shops seems to be looking everything up on-line and coming up with their own "e-bay-size" prices...

Thanks Treefarmer! Thats what I was thinking... there might be only an etching on the blade, long faded, as Queen was not using tang stamp for that period (at least on some knives). ... as I recall... I will try and post a closed length picture.

Queen City and Queen

chickenman62,
Both are HOKs, very usable!
Thanks for sharing with the forum.

Sweet fixed blade duo, chickenman62!

hey, where did ya find those Queen fixed blades??

Not technically a Queen but made in their house.

Got this Queen at an auction the other nite. early 40s made, Winterbottom handles , 31/2 inch blade. cant find the model #, any ideas?

Looks close to a #98 pattern hunting knife, but those should have a 4 inch blade. The profile is not quite exact, maybe it has been sharpened down a lot and reprofiled?

I got lucky this morning and found 3 Queens... I have not had much luck finding a Queen locally for a long time and Bam! All at once I find three ...

For any Queen collectors, I posted the new updated Queen Tang Guide with revised info and additions. It is in the sticky thread under the Q&A subforum.
