This Robeson MasterCraft Slimline Trapper was part of a limited run made by Queen Cutlery in 1995. The scales are a jigged bone pattern with a dark Emerald Green color. The stainless steel clip blade measures in at 3 3/8" inches long and 1/8" thick at the base of the spine. It is just over 4 inches closed. Never used or sharpened. Factory edge. Great snap, no half stop. No blade wobble or play. Brass liners and pins. Grooved Nickel Silver bolsters. "MasterCraft" oval shield. 

Front Stamp: 
    Robeson
    MasterCraft
    U.S.A.

Rear Stamp:
    Queen Cut Co. (Arched)
    Tittusville, PA.

(The right half of this stamp has a "smeared" appearance. I can not tell if it was an unusually uneven stamp in the manufacturing process or just normal (although uneven) wear from opening and closing. I personally feel that it looks like a bad stamp as it is inconsistant with any wear on the rest of the knife, and it is does not look worn in that area. See pictures.)

Blade etch:
    Robeson - MasterCraft

As with all American knife makers, Queen Cutlery has had an extensive and complicated history. The short story is that a handful of Schatt and Morgan employees left S&M and began making knives on their own in Titusville, PA circa 1918. They were very successful and produced knives in their original factory for nearly 100 years, using traditional methods and equipment. During that time, they acquired numerous companies and trademarks, including Robeson and, their former employer, Schatt and Morgan. They have always been held in high regard with collectors, noted for their quality and tradition. And now, following the recent closure of their doors, there has been a renewed interest in collecting original Queen Cutlery and Queen City knives. Grab your piece of American knife history before they're all gone!

**Note: I am new to knife collecting and selling. All descriptions are to the best of my knowledge and in an attempt to be as honest and forthright as possible in regards to knife condition. I have conducted hours upon hours of research on each individual knife that comes into my possession in an attempt to set a fair price. PLEASE feel free to contact me for more information on this or any other item in my store.
