Queen Cutlery & Friends

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

Rick still very cool information!

Comment by Rick Hooper on July 4, 2015 at 17:49

David, I checked on the baseball incident. Turns out,  it was 14 employees of the New York Knife company, who left after lunch time, baseball games, due to pressure from the NYK Company management. These employees went on to form the Walden Knife Co-operative Company. I stand corrected.

Also , the baseball incident was in the 1918 or the early 1920"s, so probably had new players by then!

It was a story I had read many years ago. I checked Jim Sargent's and Bruce Voyles guides , but it may have been a Levine story in an old knife world article. I remember , it was the five to nine employees justification , for leaving S&M , while moonlighting the production of Queen City blades on S&M machinery. Some articles say the men were fired and some say they left voluntarily, because of the lunch time ballgame incident. They has planned to go on their own anyway! Is their anyone else , who read this story?

A question for Rick Hooper please: I have never heard this baseball story before. Do you know of its origin? I am attaching a picture of the S&M baseball team that played against local townships and villages but non of these players were among the five that started Queen City Cutlery.

Tobias I actually like it more than S30V.  The ones I have with it are far from brittle, it seems easier to sharpen to me and needs touch up less often

Comment by Tobias Gibson on July 3, 2015 at 13:11

BG-42. A stainless steel with 1.15% Carbon, .50 Magnesium, .30 Silicon, 14.5 Chromium, 4.0 Molydium, and 1.5 Vanadium. It is considered a a forerunner to S30V. It is considered hard to work with but has excellent edge retention however it is somewhat brittle.. HRC 61-63. It is better than 440C but not as good as S30V

Comment by Jan Carter on July 3, 2015 at 13:09

BG-42 is a former super steel manufactured by Latrobe, originally designed as a Ball Bearing steel using VIM/VAR technology. What made BG-42 unique to 154CM was the addition of Vanadium, increasing the wear resistance and edge retention

WONDER WHY I AM IMPARTING THAT LITTLE BIT OF STEEL INFO???

Jan - Great article on the history of Winterbottom Bone handles (still my favorite bone jigging pattern). Thanks very much for the interesting info.
