My goodness! That is a nice one. I believe that is a pattern #32.

Re: Old Queen Cutlery Co. Knives
Thanks guys. Treefarmer, it is a #32. Just wish it’s previous owner hadn’t cleaned it up quite so thoroughly.

Re: Old Queen Cutlery Co. Knives
Here are a couple of #10 jack knives. A Queen City with black composite scales, steel liners and pins and a Queen with Rogers Bone scales. The Rogers Bone knife is uncleaned and unmessed with. Just how I like to find them! I love this pattern. Strong, tough work knives.

Re: Old Queen Cutlery Co. Knives
Do you guys think the #10 knives with steel liners and pins were made during wartime due to rationing of copper and brass?

Yes. Probably 1942-45.mountainad82 wrote:Do you guys think the #10 knives with steel liners and pins were made during wartime due to rationing of copper and brass?

Found this tiny (2.5” closed) little Queen #7 senator pattern. Looks hardly used. Nice Winterbottom scales.

Re: Old Queen Cutlery Co. Knives
Bruno, I just saw this on the other thread and drooled all over my keyboard. That old Winterbottom is just something special in my book! I'd have to tune that one up and carry it for a day or two.

Re: Old Queen Cutlery Co. Knives
According to a SMKW rep., a handful of these were built by Queen, using leftover parts from a 2-piece wildlife set produced in 1980. The original set contained one each in pearl and stag with custom blade etches. He wasn't sure of the exact number of "leftovers", but estimated it to be less then 20. IIRC, there were 200 of the sets produced. Wish I had one of those sets, too!
Closed length is 4-1/4".

I'm not a big fan of toothpicks or pearl handles but I'd be proud to own that one.

Re: Old Queen Cutlery Co. Knives
Thanks, but in this case, I didn't find it, it found me through a friend of my son. He had bought it on a trip to SMKW. First time he showed it to his friends they made fun of him for having such a "pretty" knife. He threw it in a drawer and went out and bought himself a Buck 110. He brought the toothpick to me on one of his trips back home. I gave him $50 and a half dozen racks of hickory smoked ribs. We were both happy.
