What year did Queen start using Curly Zebra wood scales?

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.

Good question. It was relatively recent...maybe 2010 or 2011. Mike LAtham of Collector Knives dot net might know.

With Queen there might always limited runs and other trials, but Curly Zebra first shows up in the 2010-2011 Knife Guide as a cataloged series.

I think this is a very pretty wood. The only thing about this series that bugs me is they haven't released a 41L in CZ.

Thanks,
