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.

Got this one a few days ago and failed to post her in the Queen forum.
After cleaning most of the rust from the steel bolsters I have made friends with the ol' gal! I carried her all day today and used her several times and am well pleased. As I was reading the forum, I realized the Queen City with the steel bolsters and steel frame was probably produced during WWII, so she is probably only a year or so older than me. :)
When this one breaks over from the half stop, you better not have a finger in the way!

Those Queen City knives are fine knives. I wish they had bone covers.
The spring on mine is just about inconvenient.
You're right, you must have your fingers clear on closing.

Mmmm Mmm. Philip, an old jack like that is bound to capture your heart. So fine. ::tu::
