Thank you Robert.  That was my understanding too and also why I purchased this knife.  It is in my pocket now.  ATS-34 is a fine steel for this high quality series.

I appreciate your help!

Great Dave, you usually fine ATS-34 only on hand made knives and the higher end, production knives. I find it is one of the better stainless steels, on the market today. You may rest assured that if Queen says something about their knives, the info  and specks are dead on correct. Enjoy your knife Dave, you have a great one, there in your pocket.

Thank you Robert.  All the better knowing it really is ATS-34. 

I have a question for Ryan. 

I would like to find one of each of the old Queen/ Schatt & Morgan catalog reprints that Queen offered a couple of years ago.

Are these still available, and if so how can I obtain them?  Any at the factory?

Thank you in advance for your help.

These catalogs reproductions are available for sale at these two sites:

David, good work on finding them!

David, you have certainly made my day today!! 

I have placed an order for the catalogs and my check is on its way for payment. 

I am excited about these catalogs because I enjoy history as well as fine traditional pocket knives, especially Schatt & Morgan and Queen.  I am happy these catalogs are still available!

Thank you for responding to my question here.  Very much appreciated.

Check it out.  Part of the celebration is a BDay for the young Master Daniels LOL.  OK, I know I am not missing that!

Sounds like a great time.  Wish I could be there.

I hope everyone likes some of the new things we are doing knives, marketing, and the website. Please any suggestions at all are greatly appropriated more opinions make everything better. Thanks for all the support and we would love for everyone to come to the Queen Show.

Queen Congress from Knives Live TV Contest when Ryan was the guest host.  BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Nice congress. The handle is interesting.

Cindy glad you like your knife. We working on some more fun contests for the future. Thank you guys for participating. 

I think this is a must have for us

Real sweet, Miss Jan, what kind of wood is that? 

       Oh, Miss Jan is sweet and the knife is sweet......lol  

This user pocket knife is handled in  very exotic Curly Zebra African Hardwood. It features stainless pins and backsprings, Nickel Silver Bolsters, Brass Liners, New hand pinned shield and D2 Steel blade that has been expertly tempered. 3.0" Closed and 1.20 Ounces.   A great EDC!

Jan, there is a lot to like about that knife, and to make it even better that beautiful Curly Zebra wood is stabilized. 

So often a pocketknife handled in wood soon loses the grain pattern and attractive appearance as it is used every day being subjected to dirt, oil, moisture and general handling.  Not so with this stabilized Curly Zebra from Queen.  It is very useable because the wood has been sealed throughout under pressure with a polymer that keeps out the dirt, moisture, and oils that attack unsealed wood. 

It maintains the beauty of the wood and makes for a very durable handle.  Maintaining it with a light coating of good wax will keep it looking like new.

A very nice handle material for a very nice knife!

That is a great everyday carry knife a lot of women carry them.

One of our own members Stefan Schmalhaus found this and sent it to me. He contacted the Gowanda Area Historical Society city historian Phil Palen. The first one is a photo of C. B. Morgan Hose Co., a fire company organized by Mr. Morgan. In those days, it was not unusual for businessmen to outfit fire departments. They had a vested interest in keeping their factories protected against loss by fire.

Thanks Stefan

Here is a little Titusville history from 1909. Queen makes this same knife today. Cost a little more however.

What a wonderful old ad David.  Thanks for sharing.  A fine old pattern popular then and popular now!  A few good things are still available to us.

But at 39 cents I could get a dozen!!!

Great Ad David...thanks

I'll take two dozen.....I'm a big spender.

Just got my first Schatt&Morgan. (Thanks Rob Burris!) in ATS-34 and wormgroove bone and this thing is just friggin AWESOME!

I'm really impressed with the fit and finish on this thing. The edge was horribly obtuse (not anymore though. And evening with the DMT stones fixed that nicely.) So I'm really excited so have it in my pocket.

I am so glad you like it, Alex. That really makes my day. Enjoy!

Congratulations Alex.  There is a lot to like in those Schatt & Morgan knives.

One rides in my pocket every day.  Which one did you get?  Pictures?

Alexander that is great and I too want pics LOL

Pretty isn't it? I'll take some more pictures later on with  my lightbox. That'll be a few days though.

That is a fine looking Gunstock Alex.  It is not only a beautiful knife but it will also serve you well.  You made a good choice there.  Congratulations!

Awesome knife. One of my favorites. No other gunstock made like that one.

That is one great looking knife. Wish I could be there tonight!!

Schatt & Morgan File & Wire Kentucky Shiner: Series 1 #1 / 031-208.  MAJOR SLABBAGE STAG HANDLES.! Incredible spring snap and great overall fit and finish. Some confusion on the blade steel:  Box Label and Queen Website indicate ATS-34 blade steel for this knife, but the blade etch says D2 Tool Steel. Hey Ryan - can you help me out with this? Also still waiting for a reply about the history of the name "Kentucky Shiner". Derived from "Moonshiner" or the "Baitfish" aka Shiner?

Jonathan, I believe that your knife, the stag version #31208, would be correct to have the D2 Tool Steel. Queen also makes this knife with a worm groove bone handle. It is that version that has the ATS 34. I think it also has a different numerical designation #41208. Both versions are S&M File & Wire tested and are called Kentucky Shiners.

That's a gorgeous knife you have, BTW! And, "Major Slabbage" is almost an understatement!

That's a lovely looking knife! Congrats on that one!

Great knives guys! Ivars, I want to see yours too.

Great looking knives!

Jonathan, now THAT is some fat stag! 

I haven't bought a S&M since Queen first brought them back WAAAY back when!
