Queen Cutlery

That synopsis was quite helpful. Thank you. If I win the lottery, there is a fella named Tony Bose who makes some nice slip joints that I'd like to buy. Until then, I'll try to make sense of the various production companies.

You may find that spritzing it with oil and working it may loosen some grit and it will get some snap back.

Queen makes several product lines.
"Schatt & Morgan" is normally their premium line. 420HC alloy blades. Fit and finish is usually quite excellent.
"Queen City" is their carbon steel line. 1095 carbon steel. Fit and finish is sometimes a bit lower.
"Queen" is their working knife line. D2 steel. Fit and finish normally very good.

I have examples of all. My current favorites are the Queen D2 line. Armed with a diamond stone, you can change the edge bevel and end up with a great working knife that still is fancy enough for polite company.

Come and hang out with us in the Traditional Forum. Frequently there are threads on how to spruce up a Traditional knife.
 
Thanks Frank,
I'll check that out.
The only one I have is with the D2 blade. They aslo make all the new Norhtwoods knives with D2 and all the new Robeson knives (not sure with what steel).
 
Locutus,
Other than the three Great Eastern brands (GEC, Northfield, and Tidioute [Tiddy-oot]) the also make the new Scagel knives.
