Queen Cutlery

Dave Shirley claimed the first knives were made by him in MI. The early Scagels did not apppear ti be based on Queen patterns.
 
I have several Queen knives, one in particular I used a fair amount, "The Mountain Man" "Queen Steel #1440". I seem to remember reading one time that the steel was actually 440C. I got the knife in the mid 1970's and used it for "Rubber Duck" drops, to cut away the RB15 from the drop pallet. Does anyone know if this blade was 440C? Handle is Delrin, with a lanyard hole in the butt. Thanks. John

A lot of the 70's Queens were 440C they may have switched to 440A in the late 70's or early 80's.

The reissue Mountain Man run from 2004 was 440C
 
RoyalHolic, I also have a stag handled Queen Mountain Man, with a 1095 blade. Seem to remember the other option was a D2 blade, not 440C? John
