I have a Cytemp in Stag but has Gold Cytemp on the blade, Thanks for clearing up the year for me, I have web searched awhile and could not come up with the year, Thanks!, Tony

Tony Flannery, Appreciate your comment - Thank you! You have a very nice, rare stag lockback and the first knife (an SFO) that queen produced in a display box.. Our group has been very busy with this set of "Box" articles and will soon get into the later years.  We think it is an important priority to deal with post-bankruptcy "parts knives" using Queen-sold components. 

If there is something you would like to see added to our website, or suggestions for improvements,  please do not hesitate? We are now over 270 items since launching in March 2020 and we plan to continue serving collectors. Have a great day! Dan. 

Thank you Dan!, 

Tony

Wow! What you all have done with Queen knowledge is amazing.  You all know I am a history nut when it comes to these companies 

10 or 12 years ago the knife found me, I researched it on the web, Cytemp and the connection to Queen was found but the knife I could never find it's connection, and It is so strange that when I joined this group, that the top discussion was what I had searched for!, Amazing how things sometime just fall together, Thanks to Dan for his research and help IDing this SFO Queen knife!

And a huge Thank You to Jan for linking me to the Queen Group and cleaning up my mess I made trying to get here,

Thanks Again Jan!

Tony

Just in time for hunting season..

As we all know, Queen products are sought after now.  Just thought I would let you know there are some available right now

These won’t fit in your pocket! The Queen Cutlery History Spotlight knives this month are the Schatt & Morgan and Queen letter opener knives. These knives featured an equal end handle as often found on pen and pocket knives. The folding blade was a 2 inch short spear but a long tapered knife opener blade extended from the opposing end.

We have added another important Queen "Box" article to our set, authored by Brian Guth, David Krauss, Ashley and Joe MIck, Fred Fisher, and myself, covering the final segment of the Daniels Family ownership of Queen Cutlery - 2013 - 2017.

This month's Historical Knife Spotlight on queencutleryhistory.com is focused on Queen Cutlery’s # 11, 11EO utility and # 24 slim trapper knives. At a quick glance, the patterns look essentially the same, but there are subtle and not-so-subtle differences. You will see details and photos of several of these fine knives.

Rare and collectible knives from S & M, Queen, Robson, CC...for...

Just thought I would let you know, looks like an older collection has come up for sale...All are in new condition in their original box unless otherwise stated.   A must see this week is the 80th Anniversary Queen knife.  It features a  Stanhope viewer displaying an image of the founders built into the knife handle! 

Hello all, Schatt and Morgan/Queen knives have been a favorite of mine for several years. My other favorite knife is Great Eastern Cutlery.

Recently I ordered a framed picture of GEC knife labels from Traditionalpocketknives.com/C. Risner Cutlery and when it arrived, in the box was a paper stating that: "We Are Back!" Coming 2021... Schatt and Morgan Cutlery Company. Below this statement was printed: Cooper Cutlery LLC. Winchester, Ohio.

Has anyone else heard of this? I sure hope this happens!

A new Historical Knife Spotlight has been posted to queencutleryhistory.com. This months topic is the series of rare pocketknives with satin-finished blades made by Queen in 1960, as a marketing experiment. Some mis-conceptions about these knives have been cleared up and detailed photos are included.

Hey Bob thanks for the update!

I knew that Mr. Cooper was in the process but the community as a whole kind of kept our mouths shut until we saw some kind of announcement, not wanting to overstep and let excitement over ride reality. Now that we have an announcement from Austin WOOOOHOOOO!!!!! Let's see if I can get him to give us some kind of a heads up on what and when?

That was a good article, Dan. Thanks!

Have you ever wondered how Queen transitioned from a company that made "tools" to a company that thrived on making "collector knives"?   David Krauss, Fred Fisher and I have begun a series of articles that focuses on this, starting in the 1979s. Eventually, there will another on the 1980s.  As with any new content, we appreciate your comments or critique of this piece. Thank you!    https://gbh.929.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Queen-Cu...

Billy Oneale and Bob Welch. Thank you for your interest and comment on these recent posts. We think it was a critical time!  50 -40 years ago makes it fair game for "history" 

A new Historical Knife Spotlight has been posted at queencutleryhistory.com. This month's spotlight is on the rare Queen #44 short frame folding hunter. Of course background on the standard-size #44 is included as well. It's an interesting story and worth a look.

Does anyone know, is this the pattern we are going to be seeing?  This is what we have seen on the site.  Click to go there BTW

Yes Jan, we're told that will be the first one issued. Stay tuned queencutleryhistory.com.

Thanks Bob!

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!

I will be sending this out to all of iKC this afternoon but thought I would give this group a heads up.  Tracey at ReedCutlery is going to be putting up some S&M today. Some interesting items in the mix!

are the knives going to be sold here or what will it be

Elbin, Reed Cutlery , just click on that and it will take you to them

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,
