Description

This Queen #9 large stockman pattern pocket knife appears to be an unfinished second from the bankrupcy auction. It carries a 1976 sideways Q tang stamp. It is usable as is or could be a nice project knife. Please see the condition description, as well as photos, and don't hesitate to contact us with questions. Condition: This knife appears to be an unfinished second. The main blade is tight and snappy. The sheep's foot shows just noticeable side to side play when open, light snap opening, needs help closing. The spey is tight and snappy. All have good edges. The handle covers are excellent. What appears to be a crack on the pile side at the spey appears to be discoloration or a very tight hairline. The pivot pins are dimpled and have not been filed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please see item photos and condition report. We buy, use and collect knives and tools, and have been burned by sellers who say something like, "Great item! See photos for description." Then find a major flaw or damage that wasn't mentioned or photographed. We examine everything we sell try to accurately describe its condition. If we describe a tool or knife as a good or excellent user, we think it meets or exceeds acceptability for its intended use. The key words are, intended use. Buyers should understand the tolerance levels of tools they are using. The terms acceptable or light duty user means a tool has heavy wear affecting its usability. A pocket knife labeled thusly might be good for opening packages, but not general use in the shop or on the farm. We also try to point out any flaws, repairs or maintenance needed, like a cutting edge needing to be sharpened or with nicks. We do not think i tems labeled Parts, Repair or Study are usable. They may have salvageable parts, be a tool with broken or missing parts, or something we think may be of interest to other collectors. A rare pocket knife with broken blades may fall into this category. Or we may label it as collectable. This said, all item descriptions are based upon visual inspection only.
