In addition to the Queen's I have several other wood carving tools and sets.
Sets include:
Old Forge Whittlin Fun (NIB)
Rough Rider WoodWorking Set RR641

Hoping I can get some help from this group as to their worth so I can post them to my AAPK Store with reasonable prices.
Thanks,
Bob

Great group you picked up. They are great knives. I've had a couple and still have one. D2 steel I think. I have seen them more that $50 and less than $100 but that was when they were still available. Good luck with them. Looks like a great variety of handle material. ::tu::

Thanks,
I'm good with regular knives, but these are a specialty knife and there is very little info available on them as they are still in the original boxes.

I've not seen a Queen OAR CARVER before. (I lead a sheltered life) Are all of the Queens marked that way equipped with specialty carving blades? The one you have open doesn't look like it has standard canoe blades. ::hmm:: Heading for the world wide web.... look what I found:https://iknifecollector.com/group/queen ... der-series
There are a bunch of them for sale on the web, that should help establish an average value.

Not all of the carving blades are marked as Oar Carver. The #51 carver is based on the mini trapper frame and only has 1 1 1/2 inch D2 steel whittling blade.

The Oar Chip Carver 06L is a larger teardrop based knife with a single liner locked blade.

The 41L Single Blade Locking is based on the Mini Hunter frame and has 1 locking blade

The Oar Carver Version I is similar to Version 2 below, but has 2 blades of the same size.

The canoe style knife is actually a Oar Carver Version II with the Jig Black Cherry Handle. It has 2 blades of different sizes.

Wow! Those are some great shaped blades to carve with. Can't wait to see them posted to your store. I'm definitely interested.

That's awesome! Do you have any pictures of carvings you have made with those knives?
