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

Tuna Valley Humped back whittler
I've recently bought two of these, one in mammoth and one in stag. Love these little knives although really too small for anything but a gentleman's pocket knife. Does anybody know anything about the pattern? I've got one other humped back whittler but it's bigger and the main blade locks.

I agree it's too small for any serious work, the S&M premium lockback whittler is really a better size. They are very similar patterns, all 3 blades are almost identical except for size. Of course the back springs are completely different for the lockback. I just bought a pearl one, check out the date on the certificate. Something must be coming out of Queen.

Ryan told me these were some of the very last knives made at Queen before the doors closed. I'm not sure, but he may have even had the parts assembled after the doors had closed.

Oooo that stag is gorgeous.
I own one myself with black buffalo horn - small "blowout" of horn at one of the pins, but bought it discounted and what a pretty piece. Will start carrying that one soon!
