Question on Queen fixed blade

[terryl308]

Just bought this Queen fixed blade knife (no sheath) and was wondering if anyone had seen one like it and could give me some info. It is a 1/8" thick, 6 7/8" blade, one inch wide blade with stag hidden tang constructed handle that has 5 spacers, white, red, white, red, and white, the red being about 3/16 thick and the white about 1/8. It has a 1/4" brass guard. The blade is etched with "Queen Steel" with the crown and the tang has the 1958-60 style stamp. The grind and blade shape is close to a Randall #3. The handle is sambar stag I'm sure. thanks in advance. Terry

I've never seen a Queen like that, but it's a beautiful knife.

thats it treefarmer! Exactly what I was looking for! That catalog is a 1960 and is called a number 78, combat/hunting knife. I've never seen one before. sold for $86.40 per doz. I hope it's worth more than that now! I pad about $65 for it on a online auction. Thanks for the info. Terry

A really fine looking knife. It looked so much like a Randall when I first saw it, my eyes popped a little.

It does look somewhat like a Randall.

Thanks for the reply, That blade shape is what attracted me to it. It is thinner than the randalls however. I think I will make a sheath for it and maybe put it on ebay and see what happens. Terry

Wow! That's the best looking knife to ever come out of the Queen factory.

dogleg, here is the sheath I just made. tried to make it look a little older, not new and shinny! LOL. used the rough side out and dyed it. Nothing fancy but totally usualble.

[terryl308]
