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

Mr. George Naugle, I agree - much easier to find a knife badly treated than a dresser drawer beauty. Many old Queens were bought by working men and they used grinders for axes and farm tools, not diamond stones with precision. The knives were not expensive (the 1953 Big chief could be had for $.99) and they were "just tools" so collectors have a tough job especially in Queen City knives and early carbon Queens. So, yes we do have to be patient.  Good luck. Dan

I have a fairly decent collection of Remington knives. I have decided to begin collecting Queen knives, but am concentrating on older and used ones. I do have several fixed blade queen knives, but am working on a collection of folders now.
What I have found so far is that some knife owners must use grinding wheels to sharpen their knives, and really overdo it. I have no use for a knife that isn't sharp, but it isn't necessary to remove a lot of metal to get that. I do wish everyone knew how to do it properly, but I guess that is asking way too much.

Queen Cutlery History's Tang Stamp Guide has been updated yet again, to version 9 (October, 2023) – and now contains details on 101 stamps and markings! The guide also includes a supplement with the stamps used on hatchets, razors and scissors. Additionally, the earlier supplement on Dollar Knives, Robeson and Tuna Valley knives is also included.

Does anyone have any information on the Northwoods scagel series knives?
I have a #10 safety folder and I have been trying to find a current value, but there's little to no information about it
Thanks

Thank you for the Heads up information about the Queen Brand Knives. I understand from reading some post on facebook that SMKW doesn't have the China Queens in stock  any longer?  I am sure your aware that SMKW has had some new Queen Trappers Knives made in the USA. So far 2 different size Trappers . The new ones are good looking knives and supposidly have carbon steel in them and from what I have been told the first patterns . I only own 1 . I would have prefered it not be a liner lock  Jumbo Trapper but it is what it is.SFO's

Beware:  Queen knives that are labeled "brand new" on Ebay are probably manufactured in China.  They come in a nice Red and Black box and are definitely not "vintage" Queen knives.

In this new Historical Knife Spotlight at Queen Cutlery History, author David Clark has focused on the very rare Queen City triangular display cases, outfitted with 30 mint old Queen City knives.

Ken Daniels and the Queen "KIDDO PROJECT - A happy and useful article for knife collectors. We hope you can apply this to your own collecting. https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx...

Titusville Cutlery Cutlery - First Generation 2008-2011. This new article is found under "Special Knives by Client" and provides a summary of this very desirable Special Factory Order (SFO) at the very end of Servotronics control of Queen Cutlery - Sometimes called by Queen a "Private Label" Knife. It is a very nice demonstration of the importance of the CLIENT in specifying just what he/she wants to see produced. https://secureservercdn.net/.../Titusville-Cutlery...
