My first Queen knife

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.

My first Queen knife

Post by robinpeck »

I picked up my first Queen Cutlery jack knife at a flea market yesterday and I would like to learn more about it.

Its approx. 3.75 inches long when folded and is in excellent tight condition. It has been carefully sharpened but it doesn't look like it was used much. There are a few stains on the blades but no rust anywhere. The handles seem to be bone and there are no cracks.

I paid $15. (Canadian) for it.

Any information will be appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
You have a Queen #10 Heavy Jack.
It wears Rogers Bone and was made circa 1945-55.
You bought it for a nice price. ::tu::

Here's a thread I started on this pattern.
