39 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.

Looks like delrin in the picture.
If delrin rub with 3 in 1 oil, let set awhile, wipe off then Ren Wax.
If bone rub with mineral oil, let set awhile, wipe off then Ren Wax.

Bought this knife, no tang stamp. It is blade etched. I did not find it in the Queen information section. I’m curious about age.

Thanks QT, I did find that info that you sent. For some reason I didn’t relate it to my knife. Thought mine was newer than 61-71. Harold

RedRaiderRick,
That's a pretty folding hunter, a #39.
At some point Queen changed the pattern numbers and the later models have some different numbers.

I know I know. ACSB my kryptonite. That's why I can't wait for the club knife.
