Be sure to follow the Queen Show discussion for all week updates!!

Jack you are probably right about my house buy they are good young men.  Which translates to they clean it up afterwards lol

My two guys outside an iconic building

And a fine looking pair they are too!! 

The iconic building ain't bad either.  Looks like you're all ready for a great time!

A great historical building in America.  Can't tell, but it looks like both of your guys are smiling.

Everything and everyone in that picture is oozing with character. Including the pooch!

I love old buildings. 

Nice picture. Wish I could be there...sure would enjoy seeing the place.

Thanks for the pictures and update.

The Cakes from the Queen meet and greet

Forgot to show you the show knife.  I am in heaven

Beautiful!

That Half Whittler is really nice. I noticed it in one of the pics you posted yesterday. Sweet looking little knife. I can understand why you'd be in heaven. Enjoy it!

very nice !

Jan, that is most certainly "your knife"! 

You need two.  One for the collection and one for edc.

Thanks for sharing all the great pictures and day by day events.

Here is a awesome Queen City pattern # 29, English Jack.  I can't believe I won it in the knife raffle on Saturday.  Very very happy.

Carl, You lucky dawg! That #29 is beautiful! Only a few hours ago I had commented on an English Jack that was in one of Jan's pics from the event. That's a great pattern and a really special knife. That shield absolutely rocks! Congratulations and enjoy, my friend!

Congrats Carl !!!

Good for you Carl.  Beautiful English Jack.  Congratulations!

Congratulations, Carl...nice knife. 

Congrats Carl. We are happy for you.

Great looking knife.  Congratulations!

Congratulations, Carl. Good win.

Thanks everyone for the warm comments.

I heard through the Knife Vine, that a limited edition Moose, with Ebony handles, was produced a while back. Please let us know more about it.

Robert you are absolutely correct and this knife just happens to be featured in the TSA Knives store which of course can be found and accessed right here on iKC.

Check it out my friend, it is an impressive knife indeed.

Robert, if you go over to TSA Knives for a look at that big Swell Center Schatt & Morgan be sure to check out Greg's Blog as well.  The knife is featured there with comments and a good picture.  1095 blade steel and only 100 made. 

Thanks Dave, I'll do that. I have bought knives from TSA Knives and Greg before. I love Moose pattern knives. I can't afford to buy them all and I collect other knives as well. I may get this one, though.

If you happen to get one Robert, be sure to let us know how you like it.  I was just looking through my Schatt & Morgan 1903 and 1907 catalog reprints and found a very similar knife in both catalogs.  I like using the old time patterns like that.

Folks I have lots more factory pics and even a video of parts of the tour.  When I get home I will get them up!

I dont know if you all have seen this.  It is one of the reasons I am PROUD to call Ken Daniels and Queen Cutlery Co. friends

These seeds that Ken is planting today, and nurturing year by year, will yield a whole new crop of knife collectors. That's a man with a vision for the future!

Bravo, Mr. Daniels ~ BRAVO!

Wow! My esteem for Queen has just gone up. Great job Mr. Daniels. I will be adding more Queen knives to my collection.

Thanks Ken for a great way to help those of us that love knives & promotes their safe use and collectability. Thank you Jan for getting this out to us. Ryan will be at our show & I will shake his hand & commend them for this.

These are some kids that Ken gave knives too, A mini congress, there is a picture they sent Queen with some adorable Thank you cards! 

Doe's anyone know where I can get a good used blade for a queen steel #19 pocket knife.

Super picture!

Ashley,

Do you have a pic of the Kiddo knife for the folks to see?

Jan I think it is the knives that the kids are holding. The picture can be enlarged. Looks like corelon handeled congress. Sorry if you already know this and want a blow-up of the knife it's self.

I know I saw a kid a the show carrying a corelon handled straight blade bird/trout knife with leather sheath.  I think there were some different patterns that Ken was giving out.

Sorry, I don't have a picture of the actual knife and yes, there were two choices for them, the congress and the trout knife. 

Steve,

I have a "Natural" (curved) keyboard (Microsoft) that has a zoom slide button.  That works, too.  Clicking on the pic only increased the zoom once, but my slide button did the multi-zoom.

Very cool, they not only got a knife but there were options!

Hi Folks - As promised I am posting some photos of the BEAUTIFUL Schatt & Morgan "Bone Prototype" knife which I was lucky enough to win during the "Count the Queens" contest a couple of weeks ago. First, a word of thanks to Ken Daniels of Queen Cutlery for providing the knife for the contest, and to Jan Carter for attending the Queen event in Titusville, PA and forwarding the knife to me. This VERY large folder is 5 1/4" closed, with a 4 1/4" blade. The knife has fantastic "Orangey" / "Autumn" color dyed smooth bone handle scales, a very unique "Schatt & Morgan - Trade Mark" logo (apparently laser engraved into the bone handle) as well as the famous S & M blade etching. The blade is highly polished, very shiny, and appears to be stainless steel (I'm guessing ATS-34). The blade also has 2 separate "nail pulls" cut into it - something I've never seen before.  The box it came in denotes "Keystone Series", but I don't think this could be a "Keystone Series" knife, since there is no "Keystone" Shield on it. After doing quite a bit of searching on the web, the most similar "numbered" Schatt & Morgan production knife I could locate was a "Limited Edition Coke Bottle Folding Knife" from 2006 (although it had brown jigged bone handle scales as well as a "Keystone" style shield, however the frame and the single blade with 2 "nail pulls" were identical). It was designated as model 041802. I could not confirm the blade steel used on that knife either.

Thank you, Jonathan.  This is a great looking knife!  If it is ATS-34, it should serve you well as a user - but, who is willing to lose the collector value of a prototype knife?  A big folder like that needs a nice sheath.
