Information

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

Comment by Jean-François on December 30, 2014 at 16:11: Hello,

Waterfall is (was) a very nice pattern of a terribly self-destroying celluloid.

Terrific when you paid $200+ for such a poor short-living thing...

Comment by Carl Bradshaw on December 30, 2014 at 15:29: None that I have seen had smooth bone handles. Clarence Risner's price guide on these knives calls them "waterfall celluloid", so I think the waterfall is a smooth creamy colored celluloid. Sometimes they sure are tough to tell apart.

Comment by Duke Biscotti on December 30, 2014 at 15:11: Hi: thanks for the pics and comments. i rally don;t have many of those with celluloid handles, but i'll keep them apart from the others.

Houston Price's book lists several of those made by Queen from 1987 to 1992 as having waterfall handles. most references i have seen say that waterfall is a celluloid material. i have several of these and it sure looks like smooth bone to me. does anyone out there know?

Comment by Carl Bradshaw on December 30, 2014 at 14:16: Thanks Ron, they are my grandfather's, not mine. But I like to show them off anyways.

Tobias, all the bronze handled ones were made by Utica Cutlery, while Queen made all the rest (stag, bone, pearl, and celluloid handles.)

Comment by Tobias Gibson on December 30, 2014 at 14:06: I admit it. I'm jealous of the brass handled ones with the hunting scenes!

Comment by Ron Cooper on December 30, 2014 at 13:59: Great looking collection, Carl!

Comment by Carl Bradshaw on December 30, 2014 at 13:51: Here are a few of the other Winchesters. You'll notice, some of the ones with celluloid handles are outgassing pretty badly. FYI, if you own any of these, keep them away from your other knives so they don't damage anything.

Comment by Ron Cooper on December 30, 2014 at 13:07: Some purdy knives, fellas! I am especially drawn to that Winchester - Beautiful stag and great shield! Congrats to John and Duke! Enjoy those knives, guys!

Comment by John Bamford on December 30, 2014 at 11:01: I do like those 90's and the MOP shield is intriguing I hope they stick around for a while ! It was a choice between that and the Ruple and it was a hard decision , the last bunch of horn handled Ruple's sold out very fast so I thought it best to get one first.

Really good looking Congress Duke I have a Carl Schlieper Congress, nice knife but I seem to cut myself with it rather a lot .

Comment by Carl Bradshaw on December 30, 2014 at 9:06: Great lookin knife John. And Duke, I love those Winchester repo's. My grandfather has the full collection of them, they are really well made and eyecatching to boot.
