Best/ worst years for Queen?

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.

Best/ worst years for Queen?

Post by mee2 »

Been recently gettin' an itch to own a few Queens. Any years that are not as good as other in Queens history? Anything to look for? Been looking at a 72' #16 stockman [good year for me]. Any thoughts/comments?

I must be the luckiest Queens collector around here.
I have only sent back to the factory 3 knives in my many numbrs of years saveing knives. That was only do to cracks in the handles. Thats not bad out of 217 knives. I am not sure what the range in years they were or years of what I have. I would feel safe in buying any Queens made knife.
