Queen Cutlery History has published the exclusive story of of Cooper Cutlery and the long-awaited rebirth of Schatt & Morgan and other venerable knife brands. Based upon conversations with Gilbert Cooper we're now able to share plenty of details, accompanied with lots of knife photos. It's all up front on the home page.

Great looking knives, excited to see the handle materials and colors.  Wonderful to bring Schatt & Morgan back to life.  My one comment is I hope they add other blade materials.  I'd much rather buy blades of premium stainless steel materials.  Many of my Schatt and Morgan knives are BG-42 or similar.

This month, the queencutleryhistory Historical Knife Spotlight features Queen's big, hefty, 2-blade # 39 folding hunter. This popular knife was launched 70 years ago, had a few variations and remained in the Queen product lineup right up to the end. Check it out!

There is a guy on eBay that has some original Queen factory second blade blanks that were made by Queen as souvenirs It has a plastic see through fob filled with small pieces of handle materials offered, and the blade blank has the 1st Queen Stamp Q on the tang and the tip has been modified to be a knife opener for the nail nick, He also gives a 3x6"soft aluminum Queen decal with it for $8.00 free shipping, I purchased one and it is pretty cool, I have no affiliation with this person, But if you are interested check it out on eBay, He has a sticker on the blade and fob that can be removed, Queen Lovers check it out,

Just added a very useful article on Queen John Henry EXPRESS switchblades. Brian Guth and I have put together a listing of all 18 factory-made John Henry Express knives, with a bit of history and details of how each knife was packaged. Let us know what you have to add! Read it here: https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.109/gbh.929.myftpupload.com/...

Great info Dan. Thank you.

Was the smaller 4-5/8" (Express #3?) from a older pattern as well?

Tim, Thanks for the comment. The Mountain man Express is the 4.5" size and came after the John Henry Express, but used the same switchblade opening lock. It was generally quicker to open and easier to carry. More popular and around 96 different versions were made, BUT never cataloged. Brian Guth and I are working on several articles that will describe this knife. Dan

Sounds good. Thank you Sir.

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!

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.

Version 6 of the Tang Stamp Guide is available for download now.

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.

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”.

That #18, Jack, looks real purdy.

Love to see it in a larger,

 4+inches, frame

Beware:  Queen knives that are labeled "brand new" on Ebay are probably manufactured in China.  They come in a nice Red and Black box and are definitely not "vintage" Queen knives.

Thank you for the Heads up information about the Queen Brand Knives. I understand from reading some post on facebook that SMKW doesn't have the China Queens in stock  any longer?  I am sure your aware that SMKW has had some new Queen Trappers Knives made in the USA. So far 2 different size Trappers . The new ones are good looking knives and supposidly have carbon steel in them and from what I have been told the first patterns . I only own 1 . I would have prefered it not be a liner lock  Jumbo Trapper but it is what it is.SFO's
