Here's one that has plastic handles. When I bought it about 5 years ago it had been carried very little. Didn't appear to be used and had not been sharpened. Only one Queen City stamp on the tang. No other stamp. No model number. 3 5/8".
I sharpened it, but the spring is so strong, I rarely carry it. Very solid knife. I paid $35 for it, I believe.

Yours is a great looking knife. I bid on the other. We'll see if I get it.

it looks to me as the main blade is quite short on the one on flea bay

Yup, blades a bit short, here're mine. Rogers bone is close to full, black is a bit short. But both still have less blade than FRJ's. << very nice BTW

This was my fathers shop knife. Maybe a tad more heavy use than yours? :lol: Mine had ebony scales that may have been jigged at one time but have been worn smooth over the years of use.

Hi Big Barn,
well, these knives are sturdy and your father knew a good tool. It has a lot more history than mine. I got mine from someone who was willing to part with it for money, and look how you got yours.
I'm glad you got your fathers knife. That's great.

Hey Joe, those are really nice heavy well built knives. I picked one up a few years ago and I`m impressed. Great backsprings and blades and good solid feel in the hand. I think a guy could chop down a small tree with these things and that knive wouldnt even "blink". ::nod::

Finally got some photos of my old Queen. Looks a whole lot like a couple you guys posted earlier. Incredibly well made with no play and unbelievable snap!
