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

    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.

    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.


  • Featured

    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.......

    This is a couple of old Queen knives that I own, they are both very well made. One is a light user and the other is in my collection. After, years of use, you almost can't tell the difference. I hope to buy and support, the Queen Company and wish them all the best.

    Nice knives Robert! I'd like to get the non-lockback Mountain Man......maybe next month.


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    The Mountain Man model by Queen is a great knife for the Outdoorsman and is wonderful to look at. The model with amber bone has caught my eye for sometime now. I wish Queen would make some with 440c steel instead of D2. I find both steels good but 440c, is easier to fool with in the feild.

    Robert, the Honey Amber Stag Bone is fantastic! I hope I can get some pictures of my new Queen #69 with it up soon.


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    Got pictures of my #69 Jack up there.....

  • Jan Carter

    Robert,

    I have never held a mountain man but I understand it is the top of line folder for its size.  Next show...I am checking them out

    Anyone have any of these in the Curly Zebra African Hardwood?


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    Miss Jan, it is top of the line. I don't know why they call it a Mountain Man? We use the heck out of them down here in the swamp.lol An outdoorsman can get some serious work done with one. Craig, that African hardwood looks great.


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    Maybe they called it the "Mountain Man" as a throw back to Frontiersman/Mountain Man, like Thomas Fitzpatrick, Jim Bridger, John Colter, Kit Carson, etc.?


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    That Mountain Man with stag in my pictures, is some of the best Sambar stag I have on almost any knife. If I get the chance, I'll take a better picture, so you can enjoy the first rate stag.

    Craig, here's a picture of that old Queen Mt. Man in stag. The picture still does not show, just how nice it is. I hope, ya'll enjoy it anyway.

    Wow, that's nice stag Robert!

    Craig Henry

    The stag Mountain Man is hard to get now, isn't it?


  • Featured

    Craig Henry

    The Mountain seems to be hard to find in stag. I don't see any listed on any of my regular dealers. But I still love their Honey Amber Stag Bone!

    Robert Burris

    I don't think they have made one like this in a long while. They may start again, I know mine is staying where it's at.
