Queen?

hunterfisher808 · Jun 6, 2009

I just received a Mini trapper sized slippy from a forumite who described it as a Queen. Its real sweet, fit and finish is excellent,great walk and talk, super bone scales, and has an acorn shield. The stamp on the clip blade is Queen City, but on the spey its stamped Cozy Glen classic knives OH. Is this a Queen? Is'nt Queen in PA? thanks guys

They do lots of runs of "special factory orders" and such. Knives are made by Queen but are a limited run on behalf of a dealer or other entity hence the different markings you will encounter.

Thanks for the 411 Blues. Its quality level is on a par with Queens, that explains it. mk

I used to have one of these, they are indeed made by Queen for Cozy Glen.

The blades on the Queen City Cozy Glen knives are 1095 carbon steel. Larry

Ken Daniels used to order special runs of knives in 1095 from Queen, and used the old Queen City/Queen City Classics stamping/labelling. The name of the street where he lives is Cozy Glen, hence the name.
He is currently one of the owners of Great Eastern Cutlery!

As Charlie said, Ken owns that tang stamp. Ken was a long time employee of Queen until he quit to start his Co. As far as I know he only made 2 patterns with this stamp, the Trapper & a Canoe.

They are both thin blade, carbon steel, pocket friendly knives.

I wish Ken's new Co. was building this kind of knife.
