The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
Knives have been made at the factory of Queen Cutlery Company of Titusville Pennsylvania for over 100 years. It is arguably the oldest and last American Cutlery that truly continues to produce knives in the same way as they were produced there when the factory opened in 1902. The factory’s first tenant was the Schatt & Morgan Cutlery Company: Queen Cutlery Company displaced Schatt & Morgan there in 1933. Queen City Cutlery Company first began to produce knives in 1918 around the end of the First World War, incorporated in 1922, and shortened their name to “Queen Cutlery Company” in January of 1946. Purchased by Daniels Family Cutlery Corporation on September 18, 2012

One of our own members Stefan Schmalhaus found this and sent it to me. He contacted the Gowanda Area Historical Society city historian Phil Palen. The first one is a photo of C. B. Morgan Hose Co., a fire company organized by Mr. Morgan. In those days, it was not unusual for businessmen to outfit fire departments. They had a vested interest in keeping their factories protected against loss by fire.
Thanks Stefan
That is a great everyday carry knife a lot of women carry them.
Jan, there is a lot to like about that knife, and to make it even better that beautiful Curly Zebra wood is stabilized.
So often a pocketknife handled in wood soon loses the grain pattern and attractive appearance as it is used every day being subjected to dirt, oil, moisture and general handling. Not so with this stabilized Curly Zebra from Queen. It is very useable because the wood has been sealed throughout under pressure with a polymer that keeps out the dirt, moisture, and oils that attack unsealed wood.
It maintains the beauty of the wood and makes for a very durable handle. Maintaining it with a light coating of good wax will keep it looking like new.
A very nice handle material for a very nice knife!
This user pocket knife is handled in very exotic Curly Zebra African Hardwood. It features stainless pins and backsprings, Nickel Silver Bolsters, Brass Liners, New hand pinned shield and D2 Steel blade that has been expertly tempered. 3.0" Closed and 1.20 Ounces. A great EDC!
Real sweet, Miss Jan, what kind of wood is that?
Oh, Miss Jan is sweet and the knife is sweet......lol
Cindy glad you like your knife. We working on some more fun contests for the future. Thank you guys for participating.
Nice congress. The handle is interesting.
