The Queen Stockman has polished 1095HC steel clip, sheepsfoot and spey blades in an amber Winterbottom jigged bone handle with nickel silver bolsters and an inlay shield, closing to 3.75 inches, supplied in a gift tin.
Winterbottom is a specific jigging pattern, a deep irregular bark-like texture named for the Winterbottom Ranch that supplied bone to American cutlers, and it is the most sought-after jigging among collectors of traditional knives. In amber it is the classic combination, and it is the reason this knife sells to collectors rather than working buyers.
1095HC takes a keener edge than stainless and comes back faster on a stone, developing a patina with use. Queen Cutlery worked in Titusville, Pennsylvania from 1922, and the gift tin marks this as a presentation piece. Explore more Stockman Knives.
