Blackjack Knives are currently being produced by Knifeware, established in 1998 by Ken Warner, a member of the former Blackjack team that was located in St. Elmo, Illinois. These make an excellent hunting knife, with convex blades crafted from tough carbon tool steel and superb handles fit against aluminum fittings. A few classic Blackjack models are still offered by the company, including the Model 1-7, Model 1-5, and the ever popular Trailguides.

Google is your friend.

I don't think that Ken Warner is involved with Blackjack Knives any more.

I read over on the Bark River Knife forum that some if not all of the Black Jack Knives are being made by Mike Stewert at Bark River Knives. If I heard worng i'am sure somebody will chime in. LOL

2Many, you are correct. Warner's site says he sold "that enterprise."

Bark River has definitely made knives to be sold under the Blackjack brand and is today -- the "Classic" models at the least. But a good many Blackjacks carry "International" as part of the name, and I suspect that does not refer to Escanaba, especially as the company site says they are made in China.
