What "Traditional Knife" are ya totin' today?

[Centermass]

Rusty Shackelford, your Queen canoe looks very much like stag to me, not jigged bone.

 

[JohnDF]

it's jigged bone from what I gather looking around the web.

Hmmm... Looks like stag to me.

Queen used a quite a bit of derlin stag, it could be that. Without holding it it's hard to tell.

Short line Sunday?

Be blessed. It’s Sunday.

Love them short lines!

That's because it is. I'd stake just about everything on it. Who does such a thing? Goes on the internet and tells lies like that. Hoping some wise old timer will come along and tell me more about this knife. Maybe someone who was around when the company was still in business.

#64 pattern, it's right on the blade. D2 tool steel, it will take a little longer to get an edge but you can get it very sharp once you do. Check the tang stamp against a stamp list for production years. Do a search on the forum to find the list.

Thanks for the tips

 

[Rusty Shakleford]

Well it seems like this knife was produced much more recently than I thought. I know the blade appears to be laser engraved but the tang stamp doesn't match up with any I could find. Its definitely post 80s but having a hard time nailing down the year

Right, but i believe it's jigged bone from what I gather looking around the web. I guess Queen cutlery co. Is now defunct. I have another pen type slip joint from this company, not sure the number though.

I believe that JohnDF is correct . That sure likes good Stag to me .

Went camping this weekend, JK Hiker’s Backup was only knife I used. Just warming some water for morning coffee, I like the Starbucks Via instants (pic cross-posted to JK sub forum).

My kind of picture. Just love to see knifes actually toted as the thread suggests, especially in the woods. Well done.

Yesterday I forgot to post the last 2 "kitchen knives" I'm carrying this week: a Jack Black SFO rosewood Hartshead Barlow and an Italian bubinga agricultural knife:

Both very cool, Gary.

Copper theme today with this Jason Good custom. OD green micarta with copper liners and shield. Somewhat similar to a Northwoods Heritage Jack.

I haven’t heard of him but the knife looks really nice.

Absolutely, as long as there is a side of meat with it.

I never though of it that way!

That's a very special knife, Bart.

Thanks, John. It’s my only stag knife and I really like the stag on it.

Yeah, vacation was nice, as always, and I was glad I was able to apply my risk averse personality to my knife photos experience.
I'll jump on the bandwagon of approval of your choice of a first knife for your son! My first knife, at about 9 or 10 years old, was my Colonial Forest-Master camp knife, and I can't imagine I could have had some other knife that I'd have liked more. It remained essentially my only knife until I was 62 years old (and then I went nuts on knives). I was stoked about the saw when I got my first Farmer as an old man, and there's a good chance I'll pick up a Farmer X one of these days, as well, to add the scissors to the "Alox tool box".

Thanks, Gary. That’s very cool that you still have your first knife. I’ve never had a SAK with a knife but I’ve heard they actually work well.

Alox SAK today

Must be post 84 to 20/21 when they shut down?
Shame the tang stamp chart don't cover the last 35± years of production.

Still ... better than say Ulster, Camillus, and most of the other Imperial-Schrade brands, all their sub-brands such as Frontier and Kamp King, and although not an Imperial-Schrade brand/sub-brand, Utica.

Started out in Wyoming, worked my way through Idaho and ended up in Pendleton Oregon for the night. Guess I’ll make it home tomorrow after 18 days on the road.

Have a nice day

Case xx 1940/64 Barlow in Appaloosa bone . The build quality of these old knives was exceptional , in comparison to the current ones they make
