Recently acquired a Case 337-6 Q and looking to collect examples of each maker

Beyond Cattaragus and Pal, any good info for the other “official” Q knife suppliers

Here’s a few pics of the Case I just got..,still working on cleanup, but the thing is a beast!

The PAL RH 36 is not considered a "Q" knife, only Catt and Case made those. There is another Case version, the earlier version marked only CASE with no XX. The Case and the Catt "Q" knives were issue knives, the PAL RH 36 was not.

There are military knife books by M H Cole or Mike Silvey, most out of print I fear but you should be able to find copies on Amazon or ebay. Cole's books are earlier than Silvey's and do contain some mistakes.
