Queen No.38 1958-1960

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.

Oh Young Luke you have lots to learn.........


The knife pattern is called a Tuxedo Pen and has a handle of cow bone with Queen Cutlery's popular jig pattern called Winterbottom...as far as value its worth far more since it came from your dad...

The fact that it came from your dad makes it priceless.

I'll add my Image. Same as everyone else. Because of the family link it's priceless.

That said, for some unknown reason, the Queen knives don't bring much in the collector market. The strange thing is the knives made by Queen for other brands (and they make a lot of contract knives) seem to sell pretty well. Crazy. Also, as a general rule, small knives under 3" or so, don't seem to do very well.

Welcome to AAPK. Read, look at knives, handle knives when you get the opportunity and listen to what's said on AAPK. There's a ton of knowledge on this forum.
