I will never forget the newsreel showing the planting of the flag on Mt. Suribachi. The movie theatre audience stood up and cheered.

It was the same kind of thing, except we always stood quietly with right hands over our heart for the flag passing by.
The end of WWII was marked by the lighting of beacons, ringing of church bells, street parties and bonfires.

During the time when a cutting tool was some form of stone, volcanic glass (obsidian) was the most prized of all the materials available. It enabled blades to be made that would cut better than any other material. Obsidian was so prized that men would travel hundreds of miles on foot to gather enough for a supply of tools. Landon Selby, the expert craftsman who has made our obsidian knives for years, uses the same materials and the same techniques to create all the models we offer.
For 2006 and 2007 the president of Queen Cutlery has chosen a matching pair of very small Toothpicks in premium handle material for the annual Queen President's Choice.

Each knifemaker has earned Mastersmith rank with the American Bladesmith Society.
Jerry Fisk is one of the most highly recognized bladesmiths making knives today. His knives have received so many awards that it would take much of this page to list them all. As a boy, Jerry watched in awe as a neighboring blacksmith created knife blades at his forge. A sixth grade field trip to the old James Black shop in Washington, Arkansas seems to have assured Jerry's path in life.
The Browning "Mastersmith Series" is remarkably successful, thanks in large part to the very desirable limits of only 500 of each knife. This means that there are never quite enough to go around to the dedicated collector/users of Browning products. "Big" John Fitch's large drop point is the third release in this series. The Bradshaw folder and Keeslar Hunter were released earlier this year.

A peen is the end of the head of a hammer that is opposite the face and is used for bending, shaping, or cutting the material struck. It is often used to fix, or flatten, the pins that hold the bolsters in place. A natural part of that process is to lay a piece of leather over the knife to protect the bolster as the pin is peened. Canal Street has taken their idea for this unusual knife handle from that process.

The rabbit and the moon are often found within the paintings and fables of artists and storytellers in Japan. Artists often paint the moon with rabbits racing across its face. Perhaps the well-known legend has its origin in a Buddhist story in which a rabbit throws himself into the fire to become the food he has been unable to provide to feed a weak old man (really a disguised deity in the Land of Gods). The deity was so impressed by the rabbit's sacrifice that he placed him on the moon so humans would remember his selfless act.
First fossilized Mammoth Ivory and then Mammoth Tooth became very desirable for knife handles. Over the past few years, we have seen a few handmade knifemakers use Mammoth Bone. This material varies widely in its appearance because bone starts out very absorbent and easily picks up color from the minerals in the soil where it has laid for thousands of years. Unlike ivory, which will usually have color on the surface (bark), Mammoth Bone will have absorbed the color through the entire thickness.

About 20 years ago two polite young men from California came into my office in Springdale, Arkansas and asked me about the knife business.

Vietnam was the first war we lost. It was lost because of people in the movie industry and the American media who did everything in their power to bring America and the American troops down. It is very important that we never lose site of that fact.
