David, send yourself a thank you card. Two beauties.dlr110 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 3:53 pm This is what I treated myself to for my birthday yesterday while we were in Denton. Found these two in an antique shop on I35W north of Denton, TX.
A Kissing Crane Whittler from Solingen, Germany. Made in 1975 for NKC & DA as their 1st club knife. 1 of 1200 this one has serial #0697. Stag Handles, Nickel Silver Bolsters, Brass Liners. No wobble it is tight as a drum head and in excellent condition.
I’ve found 3 of these that sold in the $400 range, but this poor boy didn’t pay anywhere near that price.

This is a 2006 Schatt & Morgan Queen NKCA Railsplitter Stockman, one of 735. It has red bone handles and mirror polished stainless steel blades. The clip blade is marked "NKCA 2006 Club Knife one of 735" and "S M Titusville, PA" on the tang and "Queen Cut.co Titusville, PA" on the pile side. The other two blades are marked with the "Schatt & Morgan" signature. It is in excellent condition.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I rarely find knives at garage sales, but got lucky today, found a USMC Corpsmans Bolo in a box of lawn tools for 5 bucks. The thrill of the hunt keeps me going.
Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
If you have not already seen it here is a AAPK thread that has some good info about the Bolo knives.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
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.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
If it has a blade, Scott, post it!
Dan, you're right, Snap On and Blue Point tools merged way back to form Snap On Tools.. So, that is basically a Snap On multitool. It probably cost some mechanic $300.00 when it was new! LOL!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I concur, If it has a blade, Scott, post it! I have some Blue Point wrenches and my a mechanic said they were very good quality Blue Point being a respected brand. Blue Point tools do not have a Snap-On name on them. They are the second in quality from Snap-On. The tools are simple, sturdy, functional, and able to fulfill the basic functions with minimum error. Blue Point, on the other hand, does not have the same finish as Snap-On... or so I am told... all that being said... a great find!!!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I went to a buddy's house this morning and down the street there was a yard sale... I stop in and find a Queen kitchen knife and some cast iron and a nice wooden box for pocket knife storage. I make a "package" deal to buy it, reach in the back pocket... and no wallet so I go down the street knock om my buddies door, he is still a little groggy with a cup of coffee in his hand and I say "Hey, loan me some money" He says "Hunh?" then gives me some money and then I hurry back to the sale. The stuff is still there and I pay the lady and head back to my buddies house. He is still groggy and drinking coffee. He says "You bought a rusty old pot, a worn out knife and a box? What the hell were you thinking?" I said "Look man, this Queen Cutlery... and that is a piece of history"
