Yup. Definitely sounds like a knife from Queen Cutlery. Unfortunately, the company went out of business in early 2018. I don’t know which model has the locking blade in the joint though.

This is probably a Queen Steel product. Queen steel knifes are a high quality american product. My first pocket knife was a Queen Steel stockman folder and my dad carried one for many years. I am not positive but I don’t think they are in production any longer,but I could be wrong.

I have a lock blade, where the lock release is part(maybe) of the joint itself. Has mark stamped on blade O with a crown, a knife thru the O, and USA under. Any ideas?

Hey John. I agree that Walker didn’t truly invent the liner lock, though his design is very different than those older liner locks. Some even believe that they are so different that they represent different lock types. It’s on my to-do list to do a deep dive into the history and functionality of the liner lock.

It is, like most lock types, a very old solution and can be found on knives from the 1900 century. What he did was adding a “detent ball” to the solution and thus modernized it. Quite a difference! 🙂

Watched my dad make a knife using a diamond blade from a chop saw, years back. I am going to do my best to make my first knive this week. I made a bevel jig I watched saw online, and have been reading and watching videos. If you have any helpful tips, iam all ears. Making my blade from a 11/4″ x 6 1/2″ x 3/8″ to 1/8″ pc of surgical steel we picked up from L.S.U. medical school in New Orleans, after Katrina. Have about 7 pcs different sizes, its been something i have wanted to do for years know but never had time. next is handle making, by the way its going to be a fixed blade straight razor style blade. wish me luck for a good looking outcome.
regards,
D.M. Fletcher
