Dad is up at the factory this weekend. They are finishing up the File & Wire Mountain Men just thought everyone would want heads up. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & enjoy the long weekend with the New Year.

I have a feeling a Mountain Man Fire & Wire is in my future! Now, to decide on which handle.

Here's some neat ones I think I have to consider. Decisions, decisions.

The delrin one reminds me of the Queen we used to sell back in the 80's. But I bet it's a lot nicer now!

Is that beautiful or what?

I "need" some fixed blades. This might be one.

"New Philosophies"?  My interest is piqued!

Craig, what model is that fixed blade? I don't think I've seen one like that before.

Oh, I forgot to say, "I knew you would like the Mountain Man pattern".

You were right Robert!

The fixed blade is the #73 Bear Head Light Hunter. It's on my "need" to get list.

Anyone know what's going on at the Queen website? When I click on some of the "Product lines" I get a blank page.

Oh okay thanks! It's working now. Thanks for the help! 

I'm twisting as many arms as I can to get people to buy a Queen! LOL!

Here's the specs on that Bear Head Light Hunter Robert - 

I like small fixed blades and those two fit the bill, just fine. Call me crazy, but I like 420 HC just as much as D2. That handle material has to be popular with alot of people. I love it.

At one time I would have preferred stainless (D2 is a "semi-stainless"), but in my old age I've gone into some kind of carbon steel Twilight Zone! LOL!

I still prefer Carbon on the folders but the D2 makes for one really useful fixed blade

Craig, I am a carbon steel guy and probably, always will. There is alot of people that rather the stainless and D2 stuff, and that's fine, if that's what they prefer.

Yeah, I've been on both sides of that fence. 

A little birdie told me that there will be some exciting things coming soon.  I wonder if the shot show will bring out some new patterns?

Don't hold back! You're killing me!

Well we should know this week the show begins on the 15th :)

Today is the 15th.

Queen Peanut?

and the Queen site shows lots of new products!

http://queencutlery.com/

no peanut :(

Bummer. 

Well, it says; "Stop by all week to see all the new releases at Queen Cutlery Company."  

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Todays release

and there is another one too.  visit the site today :)

just click on the queen picture at the top of any iKC page

Hmmm, I really like that Worm Groove Heavy Jack! It's calling me.

For those that are into more modern stuff.....

I like this one actually.  One handed opening, ATS and a nice looking G10...the Q-Tac will be very popular, I beleive

Queen has really come up with some great new knives.

They remind me of some Al Mars.....kinda.

I am proud of the new Queen company. Lets all pull for them.

A Coke Bottle! Who here likes Coke Bottles? Sue......

I NEED this bottle. When and where is it possible to purchase it? Frank? Please...

I like the looks of the spear blade on that!

That last one is REALLY nice. I wonder

1. What the price will be
2. what they mean by "Queen Steel"

still don't have pricing but I do know that Queen steel is a stainless

Jean-Francois,

I would think Frank would be the place to start.  Send him an email.  I do know these were introduced at that SHOT show, so maybe 4-6 weeks out? 

Speaking of Sodbusters..............

Thanks, Jan!

And the Queen City Carbons :)

I like the English Jack. It's on my LOOONG want list.

Wooow, carbon steel, that English Jack looks great, Craig but I like that Folding Hunter. Queen, has done a great job on all of these carbon steel wonders.

Yeah Robert, I'd take any one of them....if someone were to buy one and give it to me......

Did someone say Hawkbill???

They certainly are coming out with some wonderful patterns.  Some old ones are getting a new look.  I LIKE IT

Fixed blades!

The first sambar stag heavy hunters ever produced in Queens Regular cataloged product!  That 4190 is SWEET!

Getting excited about Ryans trip, can't wait to see the Queen factory and hear about his visit
