Queen City Hawkbill

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.

Was it a QUEEN CITY, Queen Cutlery? Queen Steel? What did it go for? Not that I sell anything but I'm just curious. J.O'.

I’m sorry I don’t remember what the knife went for. I saw it and made a bid or two when the auction was almost over and it went for more than this old tight wad wanted to pay. :)
