All About Pocket Knives

Saw some cheap priced knives with Queen City tang stamp. Assuming that they are made in China. Has the name and logo been sold ?? I’d rather they were gone for good than downgraded like Camillus were.

Yes. At the auction, an individual (supposedly associated with Bluegrass Cutlery if I recall) bought the trademarks and the equipment. He'd planned to restart production of Queen knives in Ohio, but last year, sold all Queen trademarks except for Schatt and Morgan to SMKW. SMKW has a token two Bear and Son-made Queens, but the rest are all Chinese-made. What else do you expect from them? It's this kind of stuff why I really don't like doing business with them, preferring other dealers like my own local knife store (who has an online storefront, which I order from a lot) or KnivesShipFree.

Just read this post Makes me Mad I was at that auction and heard someone talking about "buying up the stuff so it wouldn't cheapen the brand" I assumed it was a guy from Tidioute Great Eastern knives but maybe that was him.Shame to see that happen.I walked all the floors and even into the depths of the wet dripping basement and could feel all those workers hammering away.I bought some knives and parts to rebuild some.Wish I had bought more now..

And the hits keep right on comin' ....
