Description

The queen bowie walrus fossil trapper pocket knife represents a remarkable fusion of American cutlery history, exotic materials, and small-batch production. Manufactured by the legendary Queen Cutlery Company in Titusville, Pennsylvania, this knife was produced exclusively for Dave Shirley, the founder of Northwoods Knives and earlier owner of Bowie Corp. The piece features rare Walrus Fossil handles, showcasing ancient coloration, natural mineral textures, and unique grain patterns that make every example a true one-of-a-kind collectible.

At 4 1/8 inches closed, this full-size Trapper delivers the classic two-blade format that collectors value, equipped with stainless steel clip and spey blades. The fit and finish reflect the refined quality of Queen’s early-2000s production era, including clean transitions, nickel silver bolsters, and the distinctive Bowie-lettered shield, which ties directly into Dave Shirley’s pre-Northwoods branding.

Pieces made under the Bowie Corp. name mark a historically significant period in American knife making. Before founding Northwoods, Shirley commissioned limited knives from Queen featuring premium natural materials—Walrus Fossil among the rarest. Surviving examples remain highly sought after due to their scarcity, craftsmanship, and direct connection to two respected names in the collector world: Queen Cutlery and Shirley’s Northwoods lineage.

Whether showcased within an exotic-handle collection, a Queen Cutlery display, or a Northwoods/Bowie lineage set, the queen bowie walrus fossil trapper pocket knife stands as a premium representation of artistry, history, and fossilized natural beauty.

This knife comes brand new in its original box, never used, carried, or sharpened—an exceptional preservation of early American boutique production.
