Vintage 1958–1960 Queen Stockman Pocket Knife – Yellow Delrin Handles – Three Blade USA Made Traditional Knife

This vintage Queen stockman knife is a handsome mid-century find, manufactured between 1958 and 1960. Featuring cheerful yellow Delrin handles and three versatile working blades, it captures the era when Queen Cutlery was quietly building a reputation for tough, reliable pocketknives made right in Titusville, Pennsylvania.

Maker: Queen Cutlery Company (Titusville, PA)
Production Era: 1958–1960
Pattern: Stockman (three-blade)
Blades: Clip point, sheepsfoot, and spey
Handle Material: Yellow Delrin
Bolsters: Nickel silver
Liners: Brass
Closed Length: Approx. 3 5/8"

Condition:
Blades show honest surface wear, scratching, and light patina from decades of gentle use, but still open and close with good snap. The yellow Delrin handles remain vibrant and securely pinned, with only minor handling marks — no cracks or major flaws. Nickel silver bolsters show mild tarnish typical of age, lending authentic vintage character. Please see photos for full details.

Historical Note:
Queen Cutlery emerged after Schatt & Morgan’s closure, carrying forward Pennsylvania’s proud cutlery tradition. By the late 1950s, Queen knives were known for their clean workmanship and solid materials. The yellow Delrin used during this era offered a bright, durable alternative to natural materials — ideal for hardworking customers looking for utility and affordability.

Collector’s Note:
Although Queen knives have a devoted following, stockman models from the late '50s are especially sought after for their transitional blend of old-world craftsmanship and mid-century modern materials. A colorful and practical addition to any vintage collection, or a satisfying daily companion for those who appreciate the soul of traditional American cutlery.
