Question on Queen hawkbill

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.

Question on Queen hawkbill

Post by Paladin 51 »

I am helping a friend dispose of some knives for his sister. My question is did Quenn use Wenge wood on some knives. I have this hawkbill and the wood looks like wenge. Reason i say this as i turn goose calls and have used wenge before and this sure looks like it. Any help would be appreciated so i can acurately describe it.
