Queen steel #11B

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.

It makes no sense for the Queen factory to grind off the tang stamp of a "second" but leave the blade etch. And, if the factory had wanted to remove a tang stamp, they could do a heck of lot better job than that!

I refuse to underestimate the stupidity of other people's use of power tools...

Q's seconds were marked with a DU stamp. Suppose it meant defective unit.
