A Pair of Queens

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.

A Pair of Queens

Post by vikingdog »

Here is a photo of two of my favorite knives, both of them mint Queens. Both of them recent purchases from Steve Sanders at Sanders Knives. The jack knife is from 1976, the #31 half congresss is pre 1955. I love these Queen knives and have a vintage jack with a clip blade as my EDC.

BTW Steve Sanders has a nice inventory of these knives and is a great person to deal with. ::tu::

Knice catch there, dawg.
Looks like just enough to make you want some more. ;)

Here's a pair I have that are kind of related.
Same seller had both, we were exchanging PMs about
the lockback. The jackknife was in among some clunkers,
oops I mean 'vintage', he had listed along with the unused commems.
I half jokingly commented that if I won one of the lockbacks
maybe he could throw in one of the users that didn't sell.
He responded, okay if you win a lockback just let me know which
user you want.
I won the lockback, chose the 9105 jack because it looked like only thing
wrong was the shield was missing and I knew where to get one of those.
Kinda like a buy one get one free deal I reckon. :mrgreen:

vikingdog Thank you.

I want any Queens knife with handles like this one.

If you have or see any I would like you to point me to her.

I am on the hunt for the white bone Queens or CARVED Bone.
