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!

I find it interesting that the Delrin and Amber scales have degraded, reasoned that UV light caused this, yet the orange background on the board doesn't seem to be that faded. I would think the brightness of the orange would be severely washed out and would be very noticable behind where a knife covered the board.

Very cool website, I need to do a lot of catching up.

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.

That is a beautiful one

I know of a couple guys here on the forum who would like to get their hands on that knife, and wouldn't mind ponying up the dough.

It is really a great looking piece of knife history.

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”.

Every one of the Black Box Winchester knives I've owned were extremely well built, solid knives with super strong snap.
