Standard Knife Co.

Did Queen make any Standard Knife Co. knives in the same time period as the Case Classics?

Not that I know of. Case made some a few years ago as part of their family brands releases.

Ken, How long ago would that have been?

A pair I have of the newer Case made ones. With one "X" I'm thinking 2009?

IIRC those “family brands” releases started early to mid-2000s - like 2003 give or take a couple of years, and continued over several years. They released a series including Case Brothers, Cattaraugus, Kinfolks, Standard Knife Co, Crandall and other brands that had connections to Case (Case family members owned or operated them). They could not do some others like Kabar and Robeson that were in the same category because those brand names were owned by others. Here’s an older post about it viewtopic.php?f=31&t=65671. There are others - you can find them using “search”.

Edit: further research indicates the Case Family Brands promotion was occurring as early as late 1990s.

Here's some family tree knives I just sold

The knives posted by LHacken were indeed made by Queen with the STANDARD KNFE COMPANY stamp.

Parker had a number of "Family Brands" knives made by Queen in the 1990's, during the tail end of the "Case Classics" era.

This was before Case got serious about reclaiming the Family Brands tang stamps.
