Could this be a 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.

Could this be a Queen knife?

Post by GSPTOPDOG »

Can anyone tell me if this could be a Queen knife? I don't see any markings anywhere on the knife nor sheath. It looks like it wants to be a Queen, I just don't see any markings. Has anyone seen this before and could tell what I have here? Thanks!

I'll agree with David, it's a Queen. Don't know anything about their fixed blades but those Imitation Winterbottom handles are a pretty good clue as to it being an old Queen. ::tu::

Most likely Queen, there was a period of time when Queen did not use tang stamps, just a blade etch, I think it was early 1960's but I may be wrong as far as date.

I was thinking that was a Western sheath, but I wasn't sure, so I kept my mouth shut.

Queen did not use a tang stamp from @1955-@1969.. I sourced this information form 'The Knife Collector's Guide' 6th edition. 8)
