Did you every wonder about the origins of Queen's distinctive Burnt Orange knife handles? The new Knife Spotlight at queencutleryhistory.com features recollections from Fred Sampson, retired master cutler. He tells us the first batch was very nearly a disaster. The featured spotlight is also available for download from the Cutlery Articles page.

10 or 12 years ago the knife found me, I researched it on the web, Cytemp and the connection to Queen was found but the knife I could never find it's connection, and It is so strange that when I joined this group, that the top discussion was what I had searched for!, Amazing how things sometime just fall together, Thanks to Dan for his research and help IDing this SFO Queen knife!

Wow! What you all have done with Queen knowledge is amazing.  You all know I am a history nut when it comes to these companies

Tony Flannery, Appreciate your comment - Thank you! You have a very nice, rare stag lockback and the first knife (an SFO) that queen produced in a display box.. Our group has been very busy with this set of "Box" articles and will soon get into the later years.  We think it is an important priority to deal with post-bankruptcy "parts knives" using Queen-sold components. 

If there is something you would like to see added to our website, or suggestions for improvements,  please do not hesitate? We are now over 270 items since launching in March 2020 and we plan to continue serving collectors. Have a great day! Dan.
