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

Here is a awesome Queen City pattern # 29, English Jack. I can't believe I won it in the knife raffle on Saturday. Very very happy.

Carl, You lucky dawg! That #29 is beautiful! Only a few hours ago I had commented on an English Jack that was in one of Jan's pics from the event. That's a great pattern and a really special knife. That shield absolutely rocks! Congratulations and enjoy, my friend!

I heard through the Knife Vine, that a limited edition Moose, with Ebony handles, was produced a while back. Please let us know more about it.

Robert you are absolutely correct and this knife just happens to be featured in the TSA Knives store which of course can be found and accessed right here on iKC.
Check it out my friend, it is an impressive knife indeed.

Robert, if you go over to TSA Knives for a look at that big Swell Center Schatt & Morgan be sure to check out Greg's Blog as well. The knife is featured there with comments and a good picture. 1095 blade steel and only 100 made.

Thanks Dave, I'll do that. I have bought knives from TSA Knives and Greg before. I love Moose pattern knives. I can't afford to buy them all and I collect other knives as well. I may get this one, though.

If you happen to get one Robert, be sure to let us know how you like it. I was just looking through my Schatt & Morgan 1903 and 1907 catalog reprints and found a very similar knife in both catalogs. I like using the old time patterns like that.

These seeds that Ken is planting today, and nurturing year by year, will yield a whole new crop of knife collectors. That's a man with a vision for the future!
Bravo, Mr. Daniels ~ BRAVO!

Ashley,
Do you have a pic of the Kiddo knife for the folks to see?
Aug 4, 2013
steve haraldson
Jan I think it is the knives that the kids are holding. The picture can be enlarged. Looks like corelon handeled congress. Sorry if you already know this and want a blow-up of the knife it's self.
Aug 4, 2013
Carl Bradshaw
I know I saw a kid a the show carrying a corelon handled straight blade bird/trout knife with leather sheath. I think there were some different patterns that Ken was giving out.

Ashley Nottingham
Sorry, I don't have a picture of the actual knife and yes, there were two choices for them, the congress and the trout knife.

Steve,
I have a "Natural" (curved) keyboard (Microsoft) that has a zoom slide button. That works, too. Clicking on the pic only increased the zoom once, but my slide button did the multi-zoom.

Hi Folks - As promised I am posting some photos of the BEAUTIFUL Schatt & Morgan "Bone Prototype" knife which I was lucky enough to win during the "Count the Queens" contest a couple of weeks ago. First, a word of thanks to Ken Daniels of Queen Cutlery for providing the knife for the contest, and to Jan Carter for attending the Queen event in Titusville, PA and forwarding the knife to me. This VERY large folder is 5 1/4" closed, with a 4 1/4" blade. The knife has fantastic "Orangey" / "Autumn" color dyed smooth bone handle scales, a very unique "Schatt & Morgan - Trade Mark" logo (apparently laser engraved into the bone handle) as well as the famous S & M blade etching. The blade is highly polished, very shiny, and appears to be stainless steel (I'm guessing ATS-34). The blade also has 2 separate "nail pulls" cut into it - something I've never seen before. The box it came in denotes "Keystone Series", but I don't think this could be a "Keystone Series" knife, since there is no "Keystone" Shield on it. After doing quite a bit of searching on the web, the most similar "numbered" Schatt & Morgan production knife I could locate was a "Limited Edition Coke Bottle Folding Knife" from 2006 (although it had brown jigged bone handle scales as well as a "Keystone" style shield, however the frame and the single blade with 2 "nail pulls" were identical). It was designated as model 041802. I could not confirm the blade steel used on that knife either.

Thank you, Jonathan. This is a great looking knife! If it is ATS-34, it should serve you well as a user - but, who is willing to lose the collector value of a prototype knife? A big folder like that needs a nice sheath.
Aug 9, 2013
Ron Cooper
The Sabre Grind on that blade really sets that knife apart! Absolutely stunning!
Congratulations, Jonathan! That's a keeper, fersure!
Aug 9, 2013
Jan Carter
Jonathan,
That knife may never have seen production. Being Proto it may have been an item that was tested to see how it would look but never done. Just a guess on my part since it was a keystone box with no keystone shield

Camp knife?! Yes indeed, I'm anxious to see it, too. Have more than I can use now, but hard to pass up a nice fixed blade - if that is what Queen means in a "camp knife".

Thanks, Jan. That is a nice looking scout/camp knife. Would like to see the old style can opener blade come back. Having used only the new style can opener, I can do better with my P-38 issue C-ration can opener. The old style can opener blade looks like it would work better than the new style.
