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

    ok im getting a too many knives that I want to carry, "is that possible" i guess not

    The Queen Cutlery standard production 63 ACSB Railsplitter with beautiful aged honey amber bone handles, nickel silver bolsters, brass liners and pins and D2 Tool Steel blades clip,sheepfoot,spear. 3-3/4" closed is ideal and feels great in the hand

    this one compares to any 3 blade sow or whittler that others have produced.

    Ive been wanting to learn a little about whittlin and as much as i love the wharnie, I think this my be my first endeavor with the whittling world.

    This is new for 2014 from Queen Cutlery the ones i received today all line great and snap like a gator down at John's in La. Its priced right and is beautiful yet rugged , i cant let it go... dont tell Cherry but Im keeping this one LOL 

  • Tobias Gibson

    Terry,   I think you should ask Danny Trejo is if it is possible to have too many knives that you want to carry.

  • Ken Spielvogel

    I'm in the same boat Terry, maybe we should get coats like Danny so we can carry about 4 dozen at a time.

  • Dan Lago

    Very funny coat!.  I would cut myself.

    Carry knives have to wait for their intermittent periods of favoritism.

  • Jan Carter

    LOL, I agree Dan!

    He better not sneeze............LOL

      When I carry a fixed blade, I also carry a folder. When I carry a multi-tool I also carry a folder. When I carry a Hobo I also carry a folder. When I carry....get the idea. 

  • Tobias Gibson

    Robert when I carry a folder, I also carry a folder.  Matter fact, regardless of whatever other knife I'm carrying I always have my two EDCs with me.  The other knives I toss in my pockets  are more appropriately called  Occasional Carry Knives.  Hmm.  Maybe that should be a new acronym --  OCK

  • Ron Cooper

    Congratulations, Steve!

    I can't think of anyone more deserving of some recognition than you, my friend! And the photograph of that oak handled Queen fixed blade that I remember--set against the backdrop of that blue Missouri sky--was nothing short of spectacular. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you and your knife in Knives Illustrated.

    Congrats, again, my broster!

    Just ordered my first Queen knife, a Rail Splitter courtesy of Greg at TSA. I have been looking at them for a while now and couldn't stand the strain any longer . It will be an expensive month with the new GEC #92 that I am buying as well !

    Awesome knife John

    You have mad two great choices, John.

  • John Bamford

    Just got my first Queen knife yesterday, Rail Splitter, it is a great knife . Really sturdy little fellow with nice short blades which is good when you live in the UK , knives are kind of frowned on here and big knives , well.....

    Anyway I would recommend this to anyone looking for a tough little edc, D2 blades nice bone etc. Haven't tried sharpening the D2 yet so that may be interesting, not as bad an edge as a lot of knives that I have seen out of the box. Not a lot of them about I believe but the last I knew Greg had one left.

    Real sweet Queen Trapper, Ken.

  • John Bamford

    You mean the Rail Splitter Steve ?

    If so then I will tell you honestly I have been carrying it pretty much non stop since receiving it. It's only the second Stockman I have bought and I was unsure if I was going to like the pattern or not. It's also the first bone handled knife that I have bought and if Greg hadn't  sold the Zebra Wood knives that he had I would have gotten one of those.

    Having said that this little knife is just one of those that seems to be just hard to not pick up in the morning , I think that it is somehow more than It should be it is not quite as slick to open as the GEC that I have and the D2 is kind of hard to sharpen and yet this is the knife that that goes in my pocket. Used it yesterday to cut up some old carpet, I am decorating the back bedroom, The knife was still sharp after that, not as sharp but still usable. I really love the bone handle and am now thinking of buying more Queen knives with this kind of bone, though I still like the idea of the Zebra Wood. All in all I would recommend this knife without reservation, though I guess anyone who buys one may find that it takes over from the rest of the collection ,as it has with me !
