Northwoods Knife Company

[Stelth]

The Northwoods' stockmen knives in particular, look a lot like what Queen makes and they even use D2 steel. Does Queen make some or all of Northwoods' knives?

Queen makes the D2 knives for Northwoods. I have a couple of Northwoods D2 knives; a large stockman, and folding hunter. Both in stag, and both with D2 blades. In terms of the patterns themselves (size, shape, blade style & grind), they're identical to the Queen equivalents, which I also have (#49 'Cattle King' stockman, #39 folding hunter). The 'embellishments' (scale material, tang stamp, shield) are the only differences. And appropriately, the Northwoods knives lack the blade etch usually seen on Queen's own knives.

Thank you. That's what I figured but I wanted to hear from a third party.
