Queen City

The Queen Cutlery Company manufactured knives in Titusville Pennsylvania for 96 years. The company opened its only factory there in 1919 and commenced to make some of the best US crafted cutlery you will find. Unfortunately, the Titusville manufacturing plant closed down in 2018.

Queen City

Post by Landersknives »

Here is another one of my older Queens! Really love this knife. Snaps like a gator! Great walk and talk. They just don’t make’em like this anymore. Great feel in your hand. Just makes me smile.

That's a Queen #10 Heavy Jack.

Here's a thread I started about the #10.

That's a real hefty looking knife! You don't even have to waste a bullet on a deer. Just throw that at em'.

I have an old Queen City straight razor, I'll try to find, and post. I forget the era it is from but I'll try to find it.

Thank you Joe, the tang stamp charts say 1925 to 1932.

Queen used that stamp on a lot of their fixed blade knives.
Here's a pic.

This was the second stamp used by Queen City and the script was the third. Most of my Queen City stuff is the this stamp (2nd) not sure but i assume it’s the most abundant.
