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

It resembles the #85 pattern pretty close. Is the blade roughly 3 inches long? Overall around 6 3/8 inches long? If so, it is the #85 bird/trout hunting knife.
Craig, I have no idea what # it is. What you see in the picture is all I know. I threw it in my tool bag so I will be using it now. Haven't used it since I was a kid. Well, I'll be using it when someone (wife) forces me to get the tool bag out. lol How she comes up with the crap she want's done I'll never know. Does anyone feel my terror?! lol
Nice old fixed blade Jack! Is that a #85?
The day Dad bought this knife we were going hunting and stopped at this little store where we always stop to get ammo or whatever we need. I saw this knife, showed it to Dad, he looked it over and set it on the counter. Talk about a happy kid. :) A new rifle wouldn't have made me happier. :) Funny what we remember.
Great knife and story, thanks.
Great that you still have the knife your dad gave you, and a Queen! As I recall, cheap foreign knives were getting a foothold here in the late 60's & 70's so your dad had to wade through a bunch of knock-offs to get to the Queen.
Jack, really enjoyed reading your post. That knife is priceless. I don't know anything about it except that knives like that, that have been given or passed down are packed with meaning. They are "The Talking Knives". Thanks for posting and sharing with us.
Dad bought this knife for me when I was 10 or so. I remember it clearly. I have carried it with me everywhere I've gone in life. I keep stumbling on it even though I haven't used it since kidhood. Never thought about what brand it was until recently. It's not a special release knife or anything. Just a knife that cleaned a few squirrels and cut some fire wood, etc. Bought around 1969 or so. Any info is appreciated on model, handle material, blade steel, etc. but not needed. Just a knife Dad bought me that will belong to my son then grandson someday. Doubt if it sees any squirrel cleaning though. Tons of squirrels live in my yard actually. Wife sees them and says "cute". I look at them and say "dinner". lol Truth be told, I watch them myself.
That's a great looking fishing knife, Jan !
That's a pretty fishing knife!
