Historical Note:
Queen Cutlery was founded in Titusville, Pennsylvania, and operated from 1922 until its closure in 2018. For decades, Queen produced some of the finest traditional knives in the U.S., prized for their high-quality carbon steel and hand-finished bone handles. The Barlow pattern, with its extra-long bolster and heritage roots dating back to the 1700s, remains one of the most iconic traditional designs.

Collector's Note:
Queen’s Barlow models—particularly those with carbon steel blades and smooth bone handles—have seen a resurgence in collector interest. With Queen’s closure, these USA-made knives have become time capsules of a bygone American cutlery tradition. This piece captures both form and function, blending collectible appeal with everyday utility.
