Brian Guth, Fred Fisher, and myself, have added a very nice, detailed article on the #25 JET SWITCHBLADE on our site. We cover the basic description of the Jet, tang stamps, modifications of the pattern, parts knives, and Custom versions. Check: https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233. ... 9-2022.pdf
We also include a previously undocumented tang stamp used only on the Jet, we think. Appreciate any comments

good stuff. Always looking for more queen info.
Which autos were buried and covered with concrete? A guy in Titusville has tons of that stuff in his dump from cleanup after the auction.

Love reading and learning about Queen Cutlery history! Thanks for posting.

Re: New Article on #25 Jet Switchblade Knife
Glad you enjoyed. There were only two types of Jet - without and with safety- and my understanding is parts from both versions were buried if they hadn't been sold. If a knife was completed, I bet it certainly found a buyer. I have a number of friends and collectors who actually earned money emptying the factory and many more who were heavy dumpster divers, limited only by what you could carry away. Who knows what will eventually surface. Because the much newer Express in both John Henry and Mountain Man version were being fine tuned, there were a lot of those knives and parts sold in the auction. It was a very sad time as far as I am concerned.
