Queen Canoe Pocketknives

[Justknivguy]

All: Are all Queen Canoe pocketknives built with a single backspring?
I love Queen knives.
Thanks.

I'm going to move your question here. Hopefully you'll get some input .

I've only had one Queen made Canoe. It was a single backspring.

Bill: Thanks. I have several Queen Knives and besides Schatt & Morgan and Robeson and Canal Street they are my favorite. I do have an unusual Canal Street full size trapper with D2 blades I got from one of the dealers here.

Thanks again,

Welcome to AAPK. and you have came to the right web site. Many others here collect Queens, Schatt & Morgan, Robeson and Canal Street.

This appears to be a very important question for you. I doubt that anyone can say, definitively, whether Queen has ever made/not made a multiple backspring, under any brand, of the Canoe pattern. Unless they have one in hand.
So, when in doubt, I'd suggest giving them a call to see what they may be able to tell you.....

Good luck, and let us know what you find.

Queen introduced the Canoe pattern into their product line circa 1975. They have since made it in various logos including Queen, Schatt & Morgan, Queen City, Robeson, John Primble, "Family Tree", and others.

All that I have ever seen have been single backspring.

In fact the only canoe patterns that I have ever observed that have TWO backsprings are Case 131 canoe patterns from about 1985/1986 to the present.

I do not believe that Queen ever tooled theirs up with two backsprings (at least on a regular 2-blade canoe). The canoe whittler of course is a split backspring knife.
