All About Pocket Knives

I picked up this queen electricians knife today, but cannot find the stamping anywhere, I've edited a pic of a queen tang stamp to show exactly what the tang stamp on this electricians knife looks like. It has black delrin scales with a bail, spear and wire stripper/screwdriver blades, linerlock, and long pulls (however in the position of regular pulls). I haven't got my camera software installed on this computer yet, I'll post pics when I do.

hey kaleb, don't know for sure but they started using that style in the early seventies. in 1976 they dated the stamp with a year.

Kaleb,

I have checked several references and none have USA next to the crowned Q. Still looking………………………….

my book shows a variation of the spiked Q starting in 1973 to 76, but the USA beside it just doesnt show up? but like john said, prob. mid seventy's

thanks for the help guys, I figured mid to early 70's here is a pic or two of the knife

Hey Kaleb,

I found the tang stamp with the USA, looks like it ran from 77-83. All of the pictures I found have the year (two digits) above the tail over USA.

thanks Gary
