Workorse series

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.

Workorse series

Post by grins000 »

Any one own a work horse with the winterbottom composite scales, I have been looking for the small trapper, but don't see them for sale anymore. Just wondering how these are holding-up with use. Thanks.

I am just seeing them to show up for sale and I have not handled one. But almost identical knives from the 70s and 80s show up on Ebay completely functional all the time - and they were using 440 or some version of 420 ss for much of that time, Not D2. I'd bet these will be durable knives. I too am thinking seriously about one of these as a carry knife.
