This group is still a work in process.
Some great Research and my thanks to the tireless work done by Sue OldsWidow. Check out that index, you just may be there for days! Also her research turned up an old resource that is worth revisiting if you have not seen.
Produced by iKC Member Tobais Gibson its a good reference for collectors: http://apg2k.hegewisch.net/index.html

Sorry pic is so bad . Blades says hen and rooster worlds finest cutlery
It appears to be a swell center whittler. What are the markings on it
Was told it may be a pumpkin whittler ???
NEED A LITTLE INFO ON A HEN AND ROOSTER MODEL 373C-AP HAVING TROUBLE FINDING ANYTHING ON THIS ONE.
Queen Cutlery made folding woodcarving knives for my business. I need to find a new source so if anyone or any company is interested in providing knives, please contact me ASAP.
Merry Christmas to all on the Research & Resources Group, And the Best In The New Year!
Thank you John! I'm still blaming the proxy :-) That image perspective looks a bit odd. squished but that's ok. I'll figure out access and learn the site soon enough, and that might be enough to help others to help me identify the origin of the knife.
I told my son about this specific knife it on Saturday, he's in Michigan, I'm in Virginia now. He was born in South Africa, and when I told him I am researching and cataloging the knives I have, and one day when I "croak" he will get them all with my docs, he said he's not excited about me croaking, but will be glad to inherit the family history and legacy. :-)
As to I*XL or I-XL mentioned by Clint, most likely one of those were what my dad meant. I had seen I*XL images very similar, but all have I*XL prominently on them. Apparently my grandfather "really liked IXL knives" - whichever ones they were. My sister (still in South Africa) now has a tomato knife with very fine tooth serrated blade and a round circle on the end, I assume part of the design for Victorian era tomato cutting and serving.
I'll ask her to check that out for markings and send me an image, that might give more clues about exactly what my dad meant by IXL knives - as in I*XL, I-XL or other
I took the liberty of sharing Allan's photo here as he seems to have had trouble with doing that .
