Is this a 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.

Is this a Queen?

Post by FRJ »

Can anyone offer any advice on this 3 5/8" folder? The tang stamp seems to be unusual at best. At least to me. The real bone looks Queenlike to me. What ever it is, it's a sweet knife. Nothing stamped on reverse of tang.

I think you have a Queen #18 pattern. The stamping is light. Shown is a mint #18 with light Q Steel tang stamp also.

You can see the faded Q which means it is a queen.
Its a very nice looking knife.
