S&M Queen 440C ?

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.

chautauqua...


Question for you on the Queen 400 series steel use....could Queen have used 420 earlier than the 2002 date since I know on the Schatt line the Queen Steel logo was dropped 1995-1996 from the advertising on the Annual Series of knives...
