Browning us made trapper

[terryl308]

Just got this Browning trapper from a friend as a gift, he found it in his drawer of misc. knives and gave it to me. It has Rosewood scales and is the usual size for a full size trapper (4 1/8" closed). Has Browning USA stamped on the master blade. Was wondering if anyone knows who made this for Browning?

Welcome to the forums! I believe all the Browning USA knives were made by them in Gunnison Utah if I recall correctly.I have several Browning USA(and Japan)knives and they are very high quality.

I believe that the posted trapper was made by Queen.

It does have that Queen look to it eh? So the knives made in Gunnison Utah are made by and for Browning? Weren't some Browning knives made in Canada? Could this be the Queen connection as in Ontario Knives/Queen...

Thanks for the response, you gentlemen may have help me answer my own question, I just took a look at a couple of Queen Trappers that I have and they do look similar. The only difference is the position of the nail nick in one of them. I know that Queen made pocket knives for several other companies over the years.
