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.

After I picked up the mail yesterday evening, I grabbed a cup of coffee to enjoy while I opened the parcel. Well, first thing I noticed was a knife I didn’t order. Finally got everything opened up and looked over both of these old war horses. I figured the seller had made a mistake, and didn’t want to have a knife some other knife enthusiast had ordered. Sent the seller a message and told them I was most pleased with the yellow Queen, but they packed two Queens. I also said I would ship the 11EO back if they needed me to. The seller responded later on today it was a gift! Wow! Made the Sunday even better! Hope everyone has had a restful weekend.

Arguably, yes. I prefer USA made. I have about 6 Bear and Son knives, and at the very least they have really ugly cosmetic issues (scraped handle from sanding belt, burned blade tip on a Moore Maker, which also recently developed wobble in 3 1/2 months as a light-duty home EDC), and some have issues so bad, they are accidents waiting to happen. Yet out of that same number of Rough Riders, minor, barely noticeable cosmetic issues are the worst.

The tang stamp is correct. The chart is not complete.

Another #51T for my Mini-T pile. This one has a brown Winterbottom Delrin handle and, according to the chart, was made 2002-2018.

Another #51, but this one is a bit older (1955-1957) and has a genuine Winterbottom Bone handle. (Also a bit more mileage under the hood...although both blades still have decent snap.)

This 1958-60 #51 also has genuine Winterbottom Bone but no wear on it at all; still has the original, razor sharp factory edges on both blades. I acquired it from the Lois & Clark AAPK store.

Merci, edge. I concur...although I have a number of knives with Winterbottom handles, each one is different, much like Case 6.5 Bone Stag. And, I will admit that I prefer genuine WB Bone to the Delrin imitation WB. ::nod:: (But, who doesn't? :lol: )

I like it!

Here's my latest: 1958-60 Queen Steel #73 Barehead Winterbottom Bone, 8" OAL fixed blade. Mint condition (except for a tiny chip in the handle that's barely noticeable) with original factory edge and leather sheath.
