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

    A Queen group! Cool! 

    As I've said somewhere else around here, I go WAAAY back with Queen. Myself and my brother-in-law used to sell them when many people never heard of them! Now, I think most people HAVE heard of them! 

    I wish nothing but good things for the new management, and I can see some new Queen knives in my future!

    Thanks Craig, it is a nice commemorative piece :)

  • Jan Carter

    have you checked the site?  The new one is out

  • Chris Taylor (CTAYLORMAN)

    Excited to see some true "knife guys" (and gals also) taking over Queen. I know we will be seeing some high quality knives in the near future and I look forward to it. Not to say Queen didn't put out a good quality knife before but these fellows are old school knife collectors just like the rest of us and I am sure we will see this in their product........Just wanted to add that I just purchased my first Tuna Valley knife today (made by Queen I think), a stag swing guard cheetah style 1 of 50. Cant wait to get it in my hands!! Will be adding more to my collection in the future.

    I hope Queen does more of their Peanuts. I always like their Peanut......even re-handled a bunch of them back in the 80's.

  • Jan Carter

    Chris,

    you are correct that is made by Queen, before the transition.  I really like the TVCC although that is the one i did not get, just came out at a low $ time.

    Craig,

    Peanut...a pattern I adore! 

  • Jan Carter

    Peanut...Peanut....Peanut!!

    I hope they keep most of the knives carbon steel.

    Craig Henry

    Two votes for carbon steel! LOL!

  • Jan Carter

    It is exciting to see companies that offer a variety of steels to make us all happy 

    OK, I am in for carbon also LOL

    Craig Henry

    I say 10 carbon steel to one stainless. How's that sound?

    A Doctor's knife with a spatula blade! Nice!

  • Jan Carter

    I like that it is a traditional pattern with an old material that is virtually impossible to get any longer

    Craig Henry

    Okay, they need to bring these back......with carbon steel blades...........

    I like this Jack Knife. Anyone have one?

  • Bill Fletcher

    I would really like to see the Aged Honey Amber Stag Bone Series continue forward with D2, a really superior steel .  I'm part way home on filling out this collection.  I would hate to see  collectors stymied with a change.  I am a fan of the old carbon steel and there are plenty of opportunities for its' use elsewhere, PS Thank you for keeping this line available.

    I'd like to see them come back with a full line of genuine Winterbottom Bone handles too. And a Peanut :)

  • Billy Oneale

    I'm with you, Bill. I was trying to get all they made in that handle also. I have the folding hunter in Craig's picture, but not the jack. Craig, I have fell in love with the new winterbottom knives that Case has been selling recently, and I really like queen's winterbottom also.

    Craig Henry

    Oh yeah, you're right Billy! I like the winterbottom knives that Case has been selling too!

    Craig Henry

    Okay boys and girls, here's the lowdown.......

    The "Queen Classics" line will have a small Trapper, then a large Congress, then.....drum roll please..............a PEANUT!

    That's what I was told by Frank himself.

    I like Peanuts too. Don't forget about me Ivars. I used to have a big Peanut collection years ago. I like Peanuts too........me too.

    Now we can go nuts!

  • Jan Carter

    Did you all know that Queen works with so many different types of steel?

    The work horse line is 1095

    The country Cousins line is D2

    The fixed blades are 420 HC Stainless

    I just did not realize they used such a variety


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    Also the Queen City series uses 1095. And the Honey Amber Bone uses D2.

  • Jan Carter

    There doesn't seem to be many companies out there that have such a good line up of steels


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    I think the D2 is what stands out for them. Of course some love D2, some don't. "They" say it's hard to sharpen. I don't know, I've never used it or tried to sharpen it.


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    But, I WILL get a Queen fairly soon with D2.

    Craig Henry

    Hey, look at these! I like!

  • Jan Carter

    Me too.  If you could pick just one?


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    Just one? Hmmm.....maybe the Honey Amber Stag Bone at the top (I'm guessing that is their Honey Amber Stag Bone). Or maybe.......
