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

Hey, guys and gals, Craig said something about S&M, way back then. I have their first pattern, that was brought back. I'll try post a picture of it soon. How many of ya'll, know which pattern, it is? "
Great looking Shiner Jon. Congratulations. You done good.
I think the Shiner series is going to be very popular.
Great looking knives!
Jonathan, now THAT is some fat stag!
I haven't bought a S&M since Queen first brought them back WAAAY back when!
Great knives guys! Ivars, I want to see yours too.
That's a lovely looking knife! Congrats on that one!
Jonathan, I believe that your knife, the stag version #31208, would be correct to have the D2 Tool Steel. Queen also makes this knife with a worm groove bone handle. It is that version that has the ATS 34. I think it also has a different numerical designation #41208. Both versions are S&M File & Wire tested and are called Kentucky Shiners.
That's a gorgeous knife you have, BTW! And, "Major Slabbage" is almost an understatement!
Schatt & Morgan File & Wire Kentucky Shiner: Series 1 #1 / 031-208. MAJOR SLABBAGE STAG HANDLES.! Incredible spring snap and great overall fit and finish. Some confusion on the blade steel: Box Label and Queen Website indicate ATS-34 blade steel for this knife, but the blade etch says D2 Tool Steel. Hey Ryan - can you help me out with this? Also still waiting for a reply about the history of the name "Kentucky Shiner". Derived from "Moonshiner" or the "Baitfish" aka Shiner?
That is one great looking knife. Wish I could be there tonight!!
Awesome knife. One of my favorites. No other gunstock made like that one.
