Q

[PERTINAX]

Hi



Is this still made? I am unable to get one from the local Agent in SA and have been offered one NIB. Value?



Thanx!

PERTINAX,
Greetings! No. The C35 "Q" was discontinued a couple years ago with no plans to revive it. As for their value...I see them still for sale at gun shows and some knife stores which have older stock, so they are not that difficult to find yet. Eventually they will gain in value once the supply really dries up.

Hope this helps.

Hi Joyce

Many thanx for the reply. Here in SA I have not seen one for quite some time. The one I have now bought cost me ZAR200-00, equivalent to about US$26-00.

$26.00USD is a good buy! Suggested retail price of the "Q" when they were still being produced was $49.95USD. Carrying mine today but have to go find another knife to spread this cream cheese on my morning bagel~!

I am trying to find more Qs for my collection. Is there any way I can get a list so I know what to look for. I have 11 now and 1 spare. I'm willing to trade or buy Qs I don't have.

Zaberwolf,

If you are looking for rare Qs try to find one of these. Model C35PSBK WMO BCR. This is a Q with a serrated rescue blade. The blade pattern is a cross with a pine bough. It was made for a wilderness medicine school in Colorado. About 250 were produced plus a small prototype run. All are serial numbered on the blade, and the prototypes have a P before the serial number. Good luck on your search for Qs.
