My Fathers

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.

My Fathers

Post by 268bull »

Here is a pair of Queens just a few years apart. The fixed blade was purchased in the mid-50's. Dad would dig it out every once in awhile and let me hold it. The folder he got in the early 60's, time frame when Queen stopped tang stamping. I get them out to reminisce every once in awhile. Just thought I'd share. Bull
