<p>Aha! Thanks Jan. I knew something was fishy here. Well, fishy with respect to my searching for info on the knife before I received it. Have seen a number for sale at various places and have even seen a pic of one with what looked to be some decent patina. All were 1993 models. Some didn't reverence steel type, others indicated 1095. As soon as I began sharpening it I said to myself ... nah .... this doesn't sharpen like 1095 .... and I have sharpened enough knives with 1095 to know…</p>

My guess is 440 ... but really doesn't much matter, other than leaving a minor question mark in my knife record keeping!!!</p> WOWSA!

<p>WOWSA! Thanks for the awsome pic!</p>
<p>This is indeed a stainless and that is where the mystery stainless comes in.</p>
<p>Let me see if I can remember this as it happened. Queen was one of the first US knife companies to use stainless. Most folks didnt trust a steel that wont rust. So instead of calling it a stainless it was promoted as "QUEEN STEEL" and you will see that stamped on many, many Queen knives. To the best of my knowledge it does not necessarily always have to be the…</p>

<p>Arrived yesterday, but too busy to take a pic .... besides, I wanted to give it a good sharpening! Now, forgive my ignorance .... but anyone have a definitive answer on blade steel Queen used on this Winchester. I thought I had read somewhere that it was 1095 .... but boy this sounded and felt like a stainless (maybe 440 series) steel when sharpening it. Anyway, while probably too large for me to want to actually carry and use ... it makes for a great addition to the collection!!! …</p>

<p>Hope all that wanted one got theirs. I waited until Jan's last message that 4 were still available to give others a chance ... mainly because I didn't want to snatch one from someone who might be looking to actually use it. For me, it is way out of my comfort range (in size) for a folder. So ..... it will be one of my collectables only!!! Thanks Jan.</p>
