Can you I.D this knife?

[xlr8]

Believe it or not, I bought this knife from what appeared to be a female vagrant while sitting in a fast food drive through one day. Got this and a gerber multi tool for a whopping ten bucks. Lord knows she prolly lifted it off of one her poor unsuspecting "johns" but who knows. [img]

You have a knife made by Rob Dalton Model CQC7 with a tanto blade and it was made before 1999.Hope this helps.

Even though it's used and scuffed up ,you got a real bargain. Dalton makes great knives and are very collectible and well built.

Very True!

I can certainly attest to it's durability. It's been a "daily driver" for me at work, and for a roughly 9 year old knife it has held up REALLY well. The blade locks up nice and tight, and that after years of use in the utilities field. Matter of fact, I almost got busted with it on a job at the CDC a few years back. It has since been retired and replaced with a Gerber manual for work.

After I clean it up a bit, do you folks think I should try touching up the rough spots? What would one use for such a task? I'd like any touch up work to be permanent.

Thanks all

10 bucks! even used and scuffed up its worth more than that,she obviously didnt know what she had,good score!

That blade is strong.

That blade is efficient.

That blade is well made by a great craftsman.

But Lawdamassey, that blade is ugly!

Thank God the tanto point-which isn't really associated with the Japanese tanto at all, but with an armor-peirceing dagger worn for all out battles by samurai-is finally wandering away.

That was a strong design, but really, such slant points are used in the orient because they are easy to make, just chop off the end of the blade with a hot chisel and it's done.

Same for the one sided chisel grind-easy to make, easy to sharpen, quite strong-but try cutting something with your left hand some time!

The scifi writer William Gibson-I think he's a knife enthusiast-describes a tanto point knife, in the hands of an assassin, as looking like it had broken off.

Turn that slanted point around, and you get the European slant point-which can actually be sharpened without a special tool.

No criticism of Bre'r Dalton is here implied, his work is superb, and he surely sat up late designing what is an extremely effective and sturdy blade shape.

It's survival in actual use argues it's practicality irefuteably.

But, my stars, that's an ugly blade!

ugly blades are usually better for actual use.

The blade just looks dirty so it should clean up easily. try wiping it with house hold cleaner first, avoid the logo. If not some 00 steel wool.
The handles look like anodized aluminum ,so I don't think there's much you can do about that.
If I'm wrong someone else will correct me ,and let you know what to do.

Mr. SD,

You ain't just a'wuffin'!

I wonder did she have a bushy beard and was suckin' onna jug of Svmbaca?
HO! HO!

[stepdaddy]

Based on the fact that she had great prices (like AL) on quality items (also like AL) with excellent service, (never a bad word about Al) and timely delivery, (see my point yet) my guess is: it was really Al in drag

If there were any pics of me in drag, I'd probably sell a muti-tool for $10 to keep them hidden
But, NOT a Dalton for $10
