Thanks Steve.  However you only got one paragraph right, the last one.  I want the paragraphs in this order.

2             4

Just kidding. :)

Talk to Steve Hanner, he's our trouble shooter.

Comment, question?

I just posted a post and the paragraphs are not in the order I typed them.  The third from the bottom was my last paragraph.  That's weird.  Anyone know why this happened?

Hi.  Just joined this site a few days ago and this group this morning.  I'm on a journey to learn more about the traditional knife group.  To me this means knives that have "patterns" like stockman, peanut, canoe, copperhead, etc.  These are the types of pocket knives I had as a kid and a lot of my adult life.  Until about 6 years ago I didn't realize you had to own more than one pocket knife at a time.  I knew I was lacking in some way and now I know why.  I needed more knives. :)  Anyway, I've heard (read) good things about the Queen brand and ordered my first one this past Thursday night.  I guess it's been shipped but don't know.  I've had no contact from the vendor (queencutlerycollectors.com) but maybe that's how they do business.  Maybe it will be here today. I'm looking forward to it. It's the small lockblade model.  It caught my eye and having a lock sold me on the first choice.  I did put a comment on the order asking if they could look at the knife to make sure I didn't get one of the rare items with flaws (chips, etc.).  Every company has one or two that squeak by QC once in a while.  I don't want my first Queen experience to be a negative one.  I got a Case once that when it closed the edge hit the spring dulling the edge.  The place on the tang that hits the spring to keep the blade from closing too far was nonexistent.  The vendor replaced it immediately.  That's the kind of experience I don't want for the first Queen.

With my Queen catalog I got several page size fliers and a copy of Knife World with an article on Queen.  Part of the article dealt with a family named Daniels.  Anyone heard of them?  lol That's a joke, almost. :)

I requested a catalog from Queen the other day and it arrived in about 3 days.  That's the fastest I've received a catalog from any company, knife or other.  Either they really care about their customers or they want my last dollar. lol  Well, they can't have my last dollar.  Another knife got that one.  Now I'm not broke, I'm overdrawn. lol

I'm just getting used to this site so if I post in the wrong place I hope it's forgiven.  People here have been curtious, knowledgable, etc.

That's enough for now.  Oh yeah. I'm going to make sure my address is in my profile so you can send me my two Work Horse knives from the contest for new members.  I want the canoe and congress please.  I don't think they have been released yet (right, wrong?).  They look great though.  I like strong knives.  I believe if I have a need for a knife with a strength of 5 (scale 1-10) I need to carry one strong enough for a 7.  Then I know the knife will CONTINUOUSLY hold up to the use I need.  You don't buy a small stockman to chop down trees. Or do you?  lol

I'm pretty sure that's 420 Stainless and was made in 2002. I'm pretty sure it's a anniversary set.

Just learning to decode the Queens, this one is a 142206. Black Buffalo with MOP shield.   Any ideas on year and steel?

Hey guys Kentucky wasn't the only state making Moon Shine. Down here in Louisiana, they made some really stiff, Shine. My Grand Paw made shine and home made whiskey back in the day {1930's an on } . I'm sure Kentucky had a much higher yield than those poboys down here. It's all good though.....lol

Hey Ryan - Thanks for the detailed answers.  My family are all from Kentucky too (I was born in Lexington).  I also wanted to remind you that the PACKAGING for the KY Shiner also needs to be corrected - it also indicates ATS-34 in the Model number on the label on top of the box. Thanks again - Jon Salmon

Ryan, I want to thank you for keeping the D2 and ATS-34 blade steels for the Schatt & Morgan File & Wire Series.  Outstanding blade steels for outstanding knives. 

I love all my various Schatt & Morgan File & Wire knives!

KnifeMaker Comment by Ryan Daniels on July 11, 2013 at 19:22

Jonathon,

The knife blade steel is D2. Thank you so much for pointing out the era on the webpage about the ATS-34 steel. Also the name does derive from the "moonshiners" from my familys home state Kentucky. We wanted this first series of SXM File Wires to have our familys heriatage along with it.
