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

The fixed blade line is growing and Steve Hanner just did a review on one

Camp knife?! Yes indeed, I'm anxious to see it, too. Have more than I can use now, but hard to pass up a nice fixed blade - if that is what Queen means in a "camp knife".
Congrats Jon, great prize. Great club we have here.
well I hear some good things about the camp knife coming up. Cant wait to see it
Jonathan,
That knife may never have seen production. Being Proto it may have been an item that was tested to see how it would look but never done. Just a guess on my part since it was a keystone box with no keystone shield
The Sabre Grind on that blade really sets that knife apart! Absolutely stunning!
Congratulations, Jonathan! That's a keeper, fersure!
Thank you, Jonathan. This is a great looking knife! If it is ATS-34, it should serve you well as a user - but, who is willing to lose the collector value of a prototype knife? A big folder like that needs a nice sheath.
Hi Folks - As promised I am posting some photos of the BEAUTIFUL Schatt & Morgan "Bone Prototype" knife which I was lucky enough to win during the "Count the Queens" contest a couple of weeks ago. First, a word of thanks to Ken Daniels of Queen Cutlery for providing the knife for the contest, and to Jan Carter for attending the Queen event in Titusville, PA and forwarding the knife to me. This VERY large folder is 5 1/4" closed, with a 4 1/4" blade. The knife has fantastic "Orangey" / "Autumn" color dyed smooth bone handle scales, a very unique "Schatt & Morgan - Trade Mark" logo (apparently laser engraved into the bone handle) as well as the famous S & M blade etching. The blade is highly polished, very shiny, and appears to be stainless steel (I'm guessing ATS-34). The blade also has 2 separate "nail pulls" cut into it - something I've never seen before. The box it came in denotes "Keystone Series", but I don't think this could be a "Keystone Series" knife, since there is no "Keystone" Shield on it. After doing quite a bit of searching on the web, the most similar "numbered" Schatt & Morgan production knife I could locate was a "Limited Edition Coke Bottle Folding Knife" from 2006 (although it had brown jigged bone handle scales as well as a "Keystone" style shield, however the frame and the single blade with 2 "nail pulls" were identical). It was designated as model 041802. I could not confirm the blade steel used on that knife either.
