All About Pocket Knives

I got this knife yesterday at an antique mall.
I have no idea what it is. It has some sort of logo which I can't make out & I think it says stainless under it. The pile side tang says PAT./PENDING
The blade has a lot of belly in it from poor sharpening. I cleaned it up a bit, but it is still bad. This is an amazingly solid knife. I think the spring is molded in the aluminum handle.

Does anyone know the Who, Where & When about this knife?

Thanks,
Dale
PS- I will be back in a couple days & check for an answer. My wife is having surgery today.

queen makes that knife.

I believe johnnie has nailed it!

Here are some pictures for comparison...

P. S.
Good luck Dale.

I actually watched a guy making those at Queen, Dale! So it's a fact. They were designed to be rust/corrosion resistant.

I believe if you check Sargents book you will see four differences in the markings. All bring the same price. I sold one in similar condtion as the one you show here about two months ago for $15.

Hope the surgery turns out OK, best of luck from everyone hear at AAPK's

Hey Dale, are you going in for your hand(s)??

Thanks for the info everyone!

My wife's surgery went well, but she was pretty drugged up, so I came home to sleep in my own bed tonight. Thank you all for your prayers & thoughts.

Charlie,
With the change in medications, my hands are doing better, & I am hoping to put the hand surgery off for another year, or at least until this winter. I have too many knives to make to go in for surgery now, unless it becomes absolutely necessary. Besides, it would mess up my bass fishing for the summer.
I finally found the steel for your knives and was going to order yesterday, but didn't get a chance to. I hope to get it ordered in the next couple days.

Thanks again for all your help,
Dale
