titusville cutlery classics series 3 - farmer's jack

[mito0]

this one looks like it came out with very little fanfare, but it's an interesting pattern i've never seen before.

I really like the looks of that guy. Sharp looking knives, no pun intended, but Dang, that's pricey, even for bone! If they cut the price in half and dropped some D2 in there, I might be all over that bad boy, and I don't even really like big knives (3 3/4 is about tops for me)

that's SMKW pricing, shop around, you might surprise
yourself. I haven't found any of these, but have found
other items cheaper elsewhere

i agree with you guys - the pricing on that knife is absurd, but you're right, jody744, a lot of that is smkw.
to put it in perspective, bill over at http://www.cumberlandknifeworks.com charges $219.00 for the pearl titusville trapper.
smkw charges $299.99 for the exact same knife.

that said, they're very similar in pricing when it comes to the stag and jigged bone versions.

hopefully, some other dealers will get some of these to give us a few more pricing options.

on a side note, i just found this little guy on ebay.
it's listed as a wilbert cutlery co. farmer's jack c. 1909.
over the years, queen has made a lot of knives under several brand names.
they've also acquired a lot of designs and tooling from defunct companies.
i'm guessing this farmer's jack falls under one of those categories.




note that very distinct spey blade shape.

Actually that knife doesn't fall into one of those categories. It was new for Queen, based off an old Schrade farmer's jack. There wasn't tooling or anything for that pattern, just a picture from an copy of Collector Knives from 2001.

i'll be damned!
nice job, guys!

Nice knives but that is way to much for me. Queen does make a great product!

[mito0]

yeah!
hey, wasteland.
what was the reason for the unusually big price tag on these?
the new QCCC congresses seem like superior knives in many respects, but they cost significantly less.
is queen trying to recoup the cost of new tooling or something?

Wow! What a great looking pattern! That's one of the largest Mastodon Ivory Handle knives I've seen.

Can't wait to find some of the bone handled ones at a better price.
