Hi everyone.
If you could help please, I have two Queen Winterbottom Bone Slippies, I have lost the chart for the stamps for date of maunufacture - if someone could help me with that please?
Also what steel is used on these knives?
Thanks very much
Duncan

Edit to add: Queen used 440C and 1095 for many years. those look to be 440C.
 
Back when those were made, I would guess 440C. Queen was a big early proponent of stainless, which had a lousy reputation before WWII. They called in Queen steel and it changed over the years but was mostly 440C.
 
I was thinking the same thing 440c.................D2 wasn't being used this early in Queen knives ( PH-D2 mark on tang signifies those that use D2........PH =Peters Heat Treat, D2 =steel)
 
Nice ones, Duncan! Love the old winterbottom bone, such a classic material. :thumbup:
 
Thank you for the help with the Charts my friends, and with the steel advice, excellent!!
