Carl was a German and his blades were sold in the US by PJM until the late 30's as he moved to the US.

He sold his name to PJM in the early 60's, I believe and the fancy, later ones were from Germany with his name on them, just not made by him.
One of his companies, Cutlery Associates, is still run by his grandson in Allegheny.
I have spoken to Carl III on the phone and have met Carl IV personally.
Carl III assured me that Burrell was a knifemaker and Carl Monkhouse was directly responsible for Burrell razors as well. I have a phone # for John Burrells grandson, have not called him up yet to learn more.
