I think I got a steal on some good steel!

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.

This one is destined for some pocket time for sure. I love the pattern, it is slim enough to carry and it locks...

Mark,
That is a sweet knife! Mine is the Amber stag jigged bone... this is one of those knives that is hard to put down! I get a lot of them, look at them for a while then put them up, this one seems to want to spend a lot of time in my hand! And to make it even better, I got it resonable, barely more than a couple Chi-com knives.

Sorry johnny, if I would have given that some thought I would have figured that out.

I thought there was yet another term floating around I needed to learn so I asked.

I view little (or big) pieces of information as nuggets of gold. It partly comes from learning a trade.

My Queen Teardrop is one of my EDC's and it carries very well. I love the classic look.

Keep in mind the D2 steel is not stainless. I stained mine at work cutting up a tomato for lunch
and forgetting to clean the blade. The next morning I discovered the stain and thought it looked
all right after all. :wink:
