eautiful vintage

Split-Stag rare
"
Q"
hunting

for the age
.
The
companion
Queen
"Q" embossed brown
leather sheat
h
is
solidly constructed

From research and the early blade stamping:
I believe this
gorgeous Stag / bone handle Queen USA

was likely
produced during
1932 - 1955
This beauty is available for your bids with
No Reserve
and is from my personal vintage knife collection.  One scarce USA quality fixed-blade Queen USA knife that is now available for the next person to appreciate

"fit closely to the handle tang."
This
decades old Queen knife

"Mirror-like"
steel

Crown over Q trademark.
HISTORY:
The
Queen Cutlery
Company
closed its doors to its Titusville, PA facility
effective January 10, 2018,
after more than 90 years in the business.
According
to the company’s official web page, this marks the end of the longest continually operating knife factory in the United States.
Therefore, finding discontinued
American-made early
QUEEN or Q stamped knives
in
"
Great
Vintage Condition"
is
becoming increasingly difficult to locate.
USA-made Queen knives have been recognized for decades as a dependable and quality-made knife to own and carry in the field.

7  13/16

long
The fixed blade is approx:

HANDLE
:
The vintage
Split-stag /bone
handle scales
have
beautiful &
varied rich
color tones
with
gorgeous highlights of
"Honey Amber color."
These
scarce
real stag handle slabs
are securely held in place with
2 Brass pins
and the
scales
"fit closely to the tang."
T
his rich
"Honey Amber color" stag /bone
was used in early Queen USA-made knives. The handle displays dark grooves and raised areas that you can feel.
There are a few expected
faint signs of nice natural aging
that occurs with
real stag or bone handles.
This
solid handle
fits well in hand
and has a
tight 1" inch half-gua
rd
and a
shiny Pommel end
.
These
beautiful handle slabs are secure

The tight metal fittings and handle tang have
some expected tiny light patina surface age specks.

BLADE
:
The
bright
USA steel
hunting / skinning blade
has a
mostly
"Mirror-like finish"
and is designed with
blood groover
(or fullers)
.
I'll leave any decision to sharpen the blade up to the new owner.
This
vintage Queen
clip-point blade
has some expected
thin faint surface rubs/scratches and short light sharpening
marks
that are consistent for the age.
The
reflective fixed blade
offers
a
1  7/8" long false top edge
(or swedge) that could be sharpened if desired. The
tip is pointed,
and the knife has a
great
plain edge blade design
(not serrated.)
The beautiful Q knife & Q leather sheath have been carefully stored for years...
and are waiting for just the right person to appreciate their early USA history and quality design.
