I always liked the Keystone shield. 

This knife appears to be about 60 days from your dealer.  If you dont have a Queen dealer in your box of favorites, contact Frank...he will have them

Looks kinda like a modern update of the Sod Buster......kinda.

There will be one adjustment from the sample.  Ken realized the thumb stud on this caught on the pocket so it is being modified before production

Just a couple I thought I would share from this weekend show

I believe I will have one also.  I was very impressed with the knife.  I love a knife that "fits" in your hand.  When it just feels right I am more likely to use it

Wow! That's candy for my eyes! Did you do the work on the handle?

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The new management team at Queen Cutlery has come up with a unique way to introduce a new knifemaker/manufacturer collaboration—they are going auction the handmade prototype and donate the proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Foundation.
The prototype is not a typical one-of-a-kind proto but instead a full blown Joe Kious handmade hunter.
The Kious stag handled hunter that is the basis for a forthcoming Queen production version will be auctioned to the highest bidder at the 2013 Blade Show in Atlanta, Georgia. The total proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Foundation.
Kious has long been regarded as one of the top knifemakers in the world, whose work has been featured in numerous art knife books and knife periodicals. One of his knives is featured in a scene in the 1991 movie, “Exposure,” in which a knife seller displaying his selection of combat knives to the star of the film picks up a smart dagger and says, “Joe Kious, very expensive.”
The Kious knife will come in a presentation case from Gunboxesusa.com, a division of John P. Scott Woodworking, Inc. Scott produces the presentation boxes for the Medal of Honor winners.

This is a silent auction that will end at the blade show BUT you have the chance to enter at anytime prior to that by Contacting RYAN Daniels at rdaniels@queencutlery.com

Had a chance to chat with Courtney Daniels this Morning.  She and Ashley Wright are at the Oregon Knife Collectors Association at The Lane Events Center in Eugene, OR.

"The Show was packed yesterday. Talked to various people, not too many younger folks though. This show is very big. It's very comparable to the Blade show. Just without booths and only table setups..  Tell anyone that is in the area to come see us today"

Looking for your next 1095?

Anyone have theirs yet?

I do!

Stefan, excellent photos

Borrowed this from a friends site.  Ken Daniels likes to be hands on!

Queen needs to start making more Stockmans.....right Steve? 

They can start with the 2 5/8" Stockman;

Who's making that documentary?

Da bin ich sehr gespannt !

Beautiful knife Stefan.  Neat looking burnt stag.

Wow! Just WOW!

Great presentation, Stefan! No words are needed. Words would not suffice to describe the beauty of this S & M!

Like I said, "Just WOW!"

VERY nice S&M!

Beautiful photos of a beautiful knife. You have an innate artistic flair Stefan. Will you favor us with a video of your S&M?

Great job, I am glad we have you as one of our members.

Fantastic pics of some classic Queens -- Royal, indeed!

Nice family! You need a Honey Amber Bone cousin! 

The new Queen ownership is producing some absolute classics

Hey I just got off the phone with Ryan and he says there are new patterns coming to the Blade Show!

Love this knfe

Looks like a great knife indeed Jan.

Our own Steve Hanner did a review of a Queen Fixed Blade.  Now I have to have one of these LOL

http://www.iknifecollector.com/forum/topics/queen-cutlery-oak-fixed...

A stack of Protos???

OH Boy!!!!

Think there's anything interesting in this pile?????   You better believe it!  Gonna take a while to get through them but if you like rare, one of a kind, prototype only, etc you're gonna like some of these.

Just got a deal on a Queen #9 Stockman. Looking forward to giving that a try. Only other Stockman I've owned so far was a RR and I think I'll like the Queen a LOT more. Once It's here I'll snap a few pictures.

Steve, that blade design is great. It's a user knife for sure.

Come See Us At BLADE Show 2013 Booth 74
      ~And the debut of our newest offerings~

http://www.queencutlery.com/

anyone check out the new offerings?  Have any questions for the guys?

Wow, some really fine old time patterns. Looks like another winner coming from Queen.

If they do that small Stockman in other handles and under the Queen name too, I can see myself getting some of those.

I had some questions asked regarding the gentleman's stag series just introduced.  In speaking with Ryan today, this series is introduced as a line of smaller knives to be able to fit the occasion when you want to have a knife but a larger one is just out of place.

One question was will the stockman come in bone?

One day Craig but not for now

When will the camp knives be available at the dealers?

Preorders are being taken now by Frank Powers at Franks Classic Knives

Frank has a table that will make you SMILE!

Hello all.  I am a collector, (beginner) and am very new to Queen knives.   I found an old Queen Canoe today but I don't know how to date them or how to tell if it is bone, delrin etc...  They are asking $30 or $35, it is not pristine, but it has good snap, W and T and the edges are not perfect, but not bad at all.  Etch of Indian in Canoe is not clear.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
