UNLESS I STATE HERE all are VINTAGE USED CONDITION as produced by factory: The Queen Steel Single-Blade Jackknife with Winterbottom Bone Scales is an iconic piece of American cutlery history. Queen Cutlery Co. (Titusville, PA) was the primary, most famous user of the distinctive Winterbottom jigging pattern. They utilized it from 1947 through the late 1960s, marketing it in early catalogs as "Genuine Frontier bone stag". Understanding "Winterbottom" Bone The Origin: This specific handle style was created by the Samuel Winterbottom Sons Company (Egg Harbor City, NJ). Queen frequently purchased raw bovine bone from Brazil and shipped it to Winterbottom for precision cutting, jigging, and staining. The Pattern: Characterized by its parallel vertical grooves flanked by smooth, rounded borders on the edges of the scales. It offers an exceptionally secure, textured grip. "Super Winterbottom" vs. Delrin: Traditionalists refer to early, deep, highly defined genuine bovine bone cuts as "Super Winterbottom." Be aware that during the mid-1970s (specifically 1973-1975), Queen transitioned to an imitation synthetic Delrin plastic version of the Winter bottom. while Queen used this bone across many multı-blade knives, two single-blade jackknife configurations are highly sought after by collectors: Queen Steel #11 / #11EO Utility Slim Trapper: A sleek 4 1/8" single-blade jackknife. Early 1950s variants feature a prominent "Q over STAINLESS" tang stamp, brass liners, and nickel-silver bolsters. Queen #62 Easy Open Jack Knife: Produced around 1958-1960, this single-blade configuration features a distinct notch cut out of the handle frame, allowing the user to easily pinch and pull open the master blade without using a nail nick. B Blade Steel Profile: "Queen Steel" Material: The proprietary "Queen Steel" stamp denotes a high-grade 440C stainless steel alloy. Historical Context: Queen Cutlery was a pioneer in the cutlery industry for successfully mass-producing hard, functional stainless steel pocket knife blades at a time when most competitors still exclusively used stain-prone high-carbon steels. 1 PLEASE NOTE : only the item described is being sold.
