FROM QUEEN CUTLERY:

Queen Cutlery is America’s oldest knife manufacturer. Knives have been made continuously here since 1902. Preserved within this old building on 507 Chestnut Street in an unequalled commitment to the American Cutlery tradition, from a time when craftsmanship and quality towered overall. Every knife made in the Queen factory today is continuing that tradition of quality that began in 1902. Each person who has a hand in making a knife within these hallowed walls is fully aware that their work-and craftsmanship-is being overseen by the ghosts and legacy of cutlers who made knives at this same location over a century ago.

In that unique way, the walls of the Titusville factory do indeed talk; still reflecting the whump of machinery, the tap of the cutlers adjusting hammer and the walk and talk of a finely crafted knife. The Old English Cutlers called the feel of a blade tang against the back spring the “walk” and the crisp snap of the blade closing when properly fitted the “talk”. A knife with “walk and talk” is a familiar term at Queen today, and when you own a Queen knife you will own a piece of history.

Why Collect Queen?by Bob Welch

Author’s note:October 1, 2015. This article was originally published in the quarterly newsletter ofQueen Cutlery Collectors, LLC., (QCC)Volume 2, 2000. The original publication date was November, 2000. It is reprinted here by permission.

Like most of you, I’m asked from time to time why I collect pocketknives. Having already reconciled this behavior I have a ready supply of answers. “They represent an important piece of our history and culture”, “they are fun to search out and haggle over”, “I meet some interesting people with the hobby” and so on.

Another critical reason, for me, is the tremendous amount of variety available to the pocketknife collector. Variations in pattern, materials, blade type and function and, of course the huge number of knife brands all work together to present limitless potential acquisitions to the serious collector. This variety also has a downside. Without focus, the collector can go nuts accumulating a pretty big stockpile of knives. For me, focus is discipline against getting carried away with the hobby. For me, this discipline is Queen. The decision made a few years ago to focus on Queen was based on what I convinced myself was sound reasoning.

Noted Queen collector John Lussier has been quoted as saying he likes Queen because of their extensive use of Winterbottom bone and because they were a pioneer in the use of stainless steel. I certainly agree on both points.
