Description:

This striking vintage Queen Cutlery stockman knife was made between 1958 and 1960, during a classic era of American knife craftsmanship. Featuring four blades—clip point, sheepsfoot, spey, and pen—this stockman pattern is uncommon and highly collectible.

The handle is a gorgeous orange-streaked celluloid, warm and rich with vintage character. Nickel silver bolsters and brass liners round out the construction, while all blades exhibit a smooth pull and satisfying snap. Some honest signs of age and light scuffing are present, but the knife remains tight, clean, and ready to display or carry.

🕰️ Historical Note:
Queen Cutlery’s “Queen Steel” line debuted in the 1950s and is prized for its durable construction and smooth action. This specific tang stamp was only used for a short window, making it a favorite among dedicated collectors. The four-blade stockman pattern is far less common than the standard three-blade format.

🔍 Collector's Note:
Vintage knives are more than tools—they’re stories you can hold. Each mark tells of use, each snap a reminder of craftsmanship done right. Whether you’re starting your collection or adding a unique piece, this Queen Cutlery stockman brings history to your pocket.

🌟 All knives in this shop are vintage or pre-owned unless stated otherwise. While many are in excellent condition, they may show normal signs of age or handling such as scuffs, blemishes, or blade wear. I try to document condition as accurately as possible in both the description and photos. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
