My newest Queen

The Queen Cutlery Company manufactured knives in Titusville Pennsylvania for 96 years. The company opened its only factory there in 1919 and commenced to make some of the best US crafted cutlery you will find. Unfortunately, the Titusville manufacturing plant closed down in 2018.

Nice Daddy Barlow, bigshot, and welcome to AAPK ::welcome::

I believe that little peep viewer in the end is called a "stanhope viewer."

When I first saw this knife I thought it must have been re-handled because I did not know Queen used this type of material for handle covers in 1993 (I believe it's acrylic). Wasn't sure I'd like it as I'm not a fan of synthetic handle materials, but once I got it in hand, I was delighted with it. (Might have to re-think my dislike of synthetics ::hmm:: ).

I've got to show off this Queen that I just got from JerryD in the POS exchange. It is a 2 blade, 3 and 5/8 inches OAL, with all metal scrolled handles. It is marked #96E on the pile side of the master blade and is also marked 1998 which I assume is the date of manufacture. I dont have that many Queen knives, so I was elated to get this one. Jerry said it is a doctors knife, and I thank him for sending it to me.

I just had a déjà vu moment as it was a Case Dr. knife I got from jerryd back in 2014, IIRC, that eventually brought me to AAPK. ::nod::

My "newest Queen" is this #51 pattern with a Schatt & Morgan keystone shield and "Big Q" tang stamp. I suspect this is probably a leftover parts knife that was assembled using old stock by the new owner of Queen/Schatt & Morgan (Cooper Cutlery Co.) in Winchester, Ohio.

For a cobbled knife, everything fits together nicely and it functions perfectly. As far as I'm concerned, it's a one-of-a-kind collector edition!! :lol:

Added this one to my Queen family this past Friday. Queen Steel #21 Sleeveboard with winterbottom bone handles I fished out of the bay. The main blade has the "Q steel " tang stamp, along with the Queensteel #21 blade etch. Both blades do have some light scratches, but are tight with great snap. The handles don't have any chips or cracks that I can see, but the pile side does have some stains.
