The online community of knife collectors, A Knife Family Forged in Steel
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

queencutleryhistory.com has published an update on the pending launch of the revived Schatt & Morgan knives and the happenings at Cooper Cutlery. Our thanks to Austin at C. Risner Cutlery & traditionalpocketknives.com for sharing his photos and observations.
The Queen Collector knives have a more varied history than many realize. The attached article provides more detailed history of both clubs and the knives, including photos and the marketing fliers at the time. These knives have NEVER been completely described and you may have some that are not in this inventory. Please let us know and we will add your rare knives. Thank you!

The December Historical Knife Spotlight at Queen Cutlery History features the 9 rare Queen Cutlery Collectors limited edition knives which were issued between 1999 and 2007. With only a couple of exceptions, production runs were limited to just 50 knives. Have a look!
That #18, Jack, looks real purdy.
Love to see it in a larger,
4+inches, frame
At queencutleryhistory.com Queen Cutlery’s Heavy Duty Jacks are in our Spotlight this month. These sturdy folding knives have their roots in the Queen City era (before World War II) and are anchored by the ubiquitous # 10 pattern. Sharing the same frame as the # 10 are the # 18 which has been referred to as both a “Heavy Duty Jack” and a “Spear Point Special”, as well as the # 40 “Heavy Duty Screwdriver”.
This month’s Historical Knife Spotlight at queencutleryhistory.com is focused on some very rare knives which were made well over a century ago: the Schatt & Morgan Gowanda knives. Produced only from 1897 to 1902, before S&M moved to Titusville, many of these knives formed the inspiration for the Schatt & Morgan knives of recent years.
queencutleryhistory.com has just published an updated Tang Stamp Guide. This 14 page resource includes all presently known Queen and Schatt & Morgan markings plus the stamps of some special early knives. In addition to those 65 stamps and blade markings, the Dollar Knife - Robeson - Tuna Valley supplement has now been integrated into the Guide.
Version 6 of the Tang Stamp Guide is available for download now.
In this month's Historical Knife Spotlight at queencutleryhistory.com we share the story of the recent discovery of an intact, late 1950's Queen knife display. The display, including 39 unused knives will soon be available for all to see at a Georgia winery.
Queen Cutlery History has just added David Clark's interview with legendary Queen collector Joe Dial. Joe recounts the early days of his collecting "career" as he travelled throughout the South in the 1970's and '80's. Along the way he acquired many unused and mint Queen knives from old displays in now forgotten small town shops. Have a listen!
