All About Pocket Knives

What a looker!!!

Thanks, researched it and found it to be a slightly rare Model "78". Read my post in the "Queen" forum. Very interesting. J.O'.

Not normally my thing but too sweet to pass up. It has no model number that I can find. Any info, date, etc. appreciated. J.O'.

Sweet sassy malassy!!! J.O. That is amazing! What a great find! I collect Queen (I had family on my mom's side of the family that worked in the old queen factory in the 20's 30's and 40's), so I love seeing people find old Queens in great shape.

Too me it looks like it has a "Scagel" style blade/knife appearance, however, I don't know nut'en 'bout nut'en... so take that for what it is worth. I'll just say it again ... ...you done got a beautiful knife there!

T The knife gods smiled on me today!! Thanks, I've been staring at it and handling all evening. It is a wonderful knife. J.O'.

NICE score, Rick!!!
That is one gorgeous bowie!
I too have been tempted by some very nice bowie knives, but unlike you I didn't pull the trigger for any, I bought autos instead! lol!

Feel free to post some more pictures of that beautiful Queen whenever you get the chance... I only ask you don't take any on the beach in rough seas with all that ocean water splashing around... with spray and foam flying about in all directions...

OK here they are, Don't get tears on your keyboard ! Darn blade is so shiny its hard to do a pic without reflections. J.O'.

Nice knife. My bro has one but with a differnt handle configuration.
I picked up my July custom by Matt McAlevy this am. A hunter set. The Whitetail knife is 9.75" overall and the turkey knife is 8". cpm 154 ss blades with stabilized spalted maple handles & blackliners. The double sheath kinda trips my trigger!

bought this little queen a few weeks ago at the flea market with cracked and broken winterbottm bone handles. Had these new maple handles put on and had it buffed a bit. Doesnt look like a 1950 model any more but I still like it.

This cheap Marbles is surprisingly good.

Love this blade profile so I grabbed this Western Crosstrail (even though it's made in China)

Rob: Very nice. I like double sheaths too. J.O'.

here's a few shots of my Western, Boulder - Twin Set from around 1959

Id love to have a set like that! Hows about a knifes out shot? I went round & round trying to decide on which sheath set up to have done, opted for the layered look in the end.

DanTX: Wow! J.O'.

Some wonderful fixed blades.
