Looking thru my junk and in my pistol box in a tin box of tools, I find a knife. I remember using it to cut patches for muzzle loader.
Marked "Queen Steel B16"
What a DOG.
The backsprings are not even. One higher than the other.
They are not even the same LENGTH.
It's a 3 blader.
The flat shank on the main blade has a grinding slip.
The blades PINCH you as they open because they don't fill the gap at the backsprings and head downward with a noticeable notch at the junction of blade and spring.
That notch makes a very uncomfortable step when held.
I....think.....I got it in the 70's (at the DEPTH of American quality control) as that is when I was shooting black powder....but......don't remember BUYING such a junker.
Maybe I ...FOUND .... it.
It is terrible.
Seems to take an edge, but that's about it.
And I...thought...Queen was supposed to be good.
