I’ve never gotten into the collecting cast iron as we have been using several pieces a number of years but I have been known to look for old kitchen knives with good stamps once in a while. Seeing the Queen stamp on your find from today has charged my battery so to speak. I’ll bet that old Queen will take a fine edge and become part of your kitchenware.

Treefarmer, I am going to let me buddy "Montana Tim" sharpen that 'ol Queen up and then maybe a dip in the sink, some soapy water and right into the wooden knife block

Most yard sales I go to are a big bust, but this one turned out all right

You're not alone. I found the yard sale lover second time around! Ha!
When it was over I got to keep the cast iron and the kitchen knives. She got to keep the kitchen... and the rest of the house
Mine just took all the money, and left me with the house payments! LOL..

Looks like a Gerber Mark II.

The Gerber Mark II is a fighting knife manufactured by Gerber Legendary Blades from 1966 to 2000, with an additional limited run of 1500 in 2002, and full production resuming as of July 2008. It was designed by retired United States Army Captain, Bud Holzman, who based the pattern on a Roman Mainz Gladius.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the welcome…I was wondering do you know how to tell the age?

According to one of my books, Dawkin, E.M.Dickinson, Sheffield, England, made knives from 1870 to 1912. So
you have a real oldie, but goodie there. Nice find! And welcome!

What do the different angles mean?

Looks like yours was made between 1982 and 1989, Gerber. The angles are the different years of manufacture..

Like Jerry said. Click the picture to enlarge it, and you'll see the dates..

Ok Thanks So Much

There was a web site that you could look up the serial # and learn the manufacture date but a friend said he could not find the website any longer. But it might be possible to find if you looked. I am not sure I have not looked for that site for several years. Without going back to see the picture again it looked like it was a prior to 2000, but did not look like it was from the 60's nor 70's. But I am no expert, I just have a few older and newer MKII and MKI knives.

Oops!

I did not see the other postings..

... looks like now you have a better answer, but it also might be possible to check the serial # for a date.

No objections from me. It has an interesting tool set. And Blue Point, if I remember correctly, is a brand somehow tied to Snap-On.

Once again Dan... You are correct!

I have a few Blue Point tools laying around and I always look for them at yard sales, flea markets etc.

"Blue Point is a lower-end tool brand of Snap-On. They are made with the Snap-On specifications but different finish. Though Snap-On owns Blue Point, manufactures are contracted to make Blue Point tools. Blue Point tools do not have a Snap-On name on them. They are the second in quality from Snap-On."

Ill do the same if and when I make the rounds again. The connection is exactly what I thought it was: Blue Point is Snap-On's "value/budget" line.

I don't see them very often, but I just found a pretty rusty Blue Point double box wrench just before last weekend and I have it soaking in my "cleaning tank" for about 9 days, so maybe today I will take it out today and see how it looks...

I'm a big Kershaw fan, TOPDOG! I haven't ventured into the ZT realm yet because of the damage it would do to my wallet!
They are fantastic knives! Your's looks killer!!
