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

    Just got a deal on a Queen #9 Stockman. Looking forward to giving that a try. Only other Stockman I've owned so far was a RR and I think I'll like the Queen a LOT more. Once It's here I'll snap a few pictures.

    Steve, that blade design is great. It's a user knife for sure.

    If they do that small Stockman in other handles and under the Queen name too, I can see myself getting some of those.

  • Jan Carter

    I had some questions asked regarding the gentleman's stag series just introduced.  In speaking with Ryan today, this series is introduced as a line of smaller knives to be able to fit the occasion when you want to have a knife but a larger one is just out of place.

    One question was will the stockman come in bone?

    One day Craig but not for now

    When will the camp knives be available at the dealers?

    Preorders are being taken now by Frank Powers at Franks Classic Knives

    Hello all.  I am a collector, (beginner) and am very new to Queen knives.   I found an old Queen Canoe today but I don't know how to date them or how to tell if it is bone, delrin etc...  They are asking $30 or $35, it is not pristine, but it has good snap, W and T and the edges are not perfect, but not bad at all.  Etch of Indian in Canoe is not clear.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  • Jan Carter

    Emory,

    I have forwarded your question to Ryan.  I am fairly sure he will have to get with the historian since it is an older model but we will get you an answer :)

  • Jan Carter

    I promised to share the knives that cam home me with me for our collection so here they are (at least the Queens)

  • Ron Cooper

    I really like the 2 S&M Keystone's -- the Gunstock and the Hunter! Sweet! But I sure wouldn't turn down that Locking Swing Guard if you were inclined to gift it to me *nudge nudge - wink wink*

    Emory, that sounds like a Case canoe, with that Indian in a canoe on the blade. A picture would really help.

  • Bill Fletcher

    Hi Emory,  Copy paste - US MADE 1980 QUEEN #399 CANOE STAG HANDLE LTD EDITION KNIFE - into goggle and then go to the ebay listing.  Your find looks to be a very good value.!!!   Best regards

  • Alexander Noot

    Just got a Queen Stockman in the mail. It's extremely narrow....and I'm not quite sure whether I like or dislike that fact. Maybe it'll just take some getting used to. Time'll tell I guess. And if not it'll just be sold again :-)

  • Jan Carter

    Win a Queen Class this week, right here on iKC

  • Alexander Noot

    I'll see if I can take some pictures later today.

    No. When I went by there were a lot of people standing and talking and I thought I would make it back later. 8 hrs walking and talking non-stop, (No food, no drink, and no pee) and I still didn't get to see everybody I wanted to. Next year I'm going to have to go all three days

  • Jan Carter

    Well I am sorry we missed you, lets make a point of meeting up next year

  • Jan Carter

    Had a great time watching Ryan last night on Knives Live.  Thanks to everyone that participated, thanks to Ryan and Queen for making us a part of it with them

    I have a Schatt & Morgan File & Wire Teardrop Jack, Series 2, Edition 2 from a few years past.  This series was advertised to have ATS-34 blade steel in these knives.  The box however is labeled "Queen Steel" on both sides.  I know that "Queen Steel" is not ATS-34 and I am wondering just which blade steel I have in my knife.  Can any of you Schatt & Morgan collectors help me out please?


  • In Memoriam

    Robert Burris

    Dave, I am sure, all the "File & Wire" series are ATS-34 steel.
