Jan his name is Franklin

Cant wait to see everyone in TN this weekend.  I would love to see an iKC member win this Queen/Prater knife being given away at rep weekend this weekend!!!

I would love to be there, but can't - have fun Jan.

Well Queen gave away their Queen/Prater knives yesterday.  Cant wait to find out who won

Have you seen the Queen Cutlery page lately?

Happy Fall Everyone! 

And a very Happy Fall to you, also, Miss Ashley!

I sure do like the looks of that S&M Keystone Congress Whittler!

I've saved your picture to be used as my desktop wallpaper - Thanks!

wow, great idea Ron!

Ashley are you going to jin our pumpkin carving contest?  I wish you would!

My new S&M Queen Stag Stockman-bought at Ohio Classic Knife Show-Pic doesn't do it justice, a really beautiful knife.

That Stockman is looking pretty fine from where I'm sittin', Ken! I'm a big fan of anything with that Keystone shield on it. Mainly because I know that the knife beneath that shield is a quality S&M. Can't go wrong! Looks like you got a good one!

That is a nice Stockman, Ken.

This I believe is a 1958-1960 Winterbottom Bone-Blade 4"-overall 8" length.The only marking is the QSteel stamp on the blade. I was also intrigued by the fact that the bone was much lighter on the obverse side. I would very much appreciate any info or corrections about this knife.

I don't know why these photos came out so distorted proportionally.I have added several photos before with no problems.This is I believe a bird and trout knife with a blade less than an inch wide. However, if you click on the photo it opens to the correct proportions. Sorry about that.

This is my firs try at the site.  Thanks for the help at SMKW regarding the site.  I guess my first question is how do you add photos??  Glad to hear that Steve Koontz is associated, as I have received a significant amount of information from him on the SMKW show over the years.

LOL, yesterday WAS Kens Birthday!  I wonder if someone bought him a knife

@Jan -- More likely another knife company!

LOL, not sure thats a gift LOL

If you ever get a chance to see him at a show and get him to talk about the company, watch his face.  He is like a kid in a candy store!  he absolutely loves the business and knives

I think I know what you mean Jan, he was all excited to see what I got and comment on my S&M - he really liked it.

It sure is fun to meet the Queen folks in person and know that the ones creating our knives love them like we do

Met Ryan again at the Ohio knife show in cambridge ohio..looks like he is hard at work doesn't it....

And a nice guy to talk to.

I liked the earlier picture of the Schatt & Morgan Congress Whittler so much, I had to go out and get one of my own! This little gem just arrived yesterday, and already has made itself at home in the display cabinet.

Pat,

I love it!  It sure looks comfy and quite at home there

anyone going to this one?

November 22, - November 24, 2013 ~ 36th Annual New York Custom Knife Show Jersey City, NJ. 

I'm close enough Jan, but need to save money for Buck Season opening after Thanksgiving.

Hello all, I don't have time to post often but do enjoy browsing whenever I can.

I have collected Queen knives for years but lately have had to slow down because of the wifes employment changes and a few odd ball health problems.

Good work, Stefan!

I'm sure that you assistance and contributions were invaluable.

Kudos to you, my friend, for a job well done!

Fabelhaft, Stefan.  Hope you can get your hands on some Queen knives over there in Deutschland.

Saw this on the FB page and just had to share

Queen Cutlery Company The knives are sharpened, they're exactly like you would want a knife for your collection. We've given out a couple different types of knives, a congress and also a small fixed blade trout knife. The kids seem to be loving them just as much as we love seeing the excitement on their faces!

This is Brennen's Thank you card. I think it's safe to say he enjoys his knife. He is from right here in Titusville, His dad is a Queen user as well. Brennen's parents are going to bring him back year after year for his Queen Kiddo Knife. We're excited to see him come back and watch his collection grow while he does!  See the pics here

What are you hunting with this year?

Stefan,

Can we order the catalog? Is it available on line?

Miss Jan, those look like fine hunting knives.

Check out the reply from Ashley!

Thank you!!!!!

Anyone meeting Ryan at the next show?

November 22, - November 24, 2013 ~ 36th Annual New York Custom Knife Show Jersey City, NJ. 

I thought it would be nice if we got to see some of the folks at Queen at work and get to know who does what there.  So here is the first bit of info provided of course by our own Ms Ashley

This is Faye Maseman, she is our shop expeditor . 

i love that sleeveboard!

looks fishy to me.  Sunfishy, that is!

Is it a sleeveboard, or a "baby"?

Jean-Francois,

It is a sleeveboard and I had to have it after seeing the bolsters! 

Next up in the get to know Queen is Trish Shetler she works in cleaning and inspecting. 

Well, thank you, Miss Jan!

A big "Howdy do!" to Miss Trish! Thanks for cleaning and inspecting those beautiful Queen knives for us! And, since I missed my opportunity a few days ago, I would also like to say "Howdy" to Miss Faye! 

Thanks to both of these ladies who toil at the Queen factory to bring us those high quality knives that we have grown to love over the years. Thanks, ladies!

Thanks, Jan for the info about the S&M sleeveboard. I thought there could be an effect of the perspective, and I never had seen such bolsters on sleeveboards or sunfishes, only on "babies". Very nice !

And hey!!!  Ashley's mom Cindy

This is CIndy Nottingham , she works in assembly and is the new appointed Dept head. 

Howdy, Miss Cindy! Congratulations on your recent promotion to Dept. Head! I was given that title once but it wasn't because I was in charge of anything. But, hey! That's a story for another day.  

At least now we know where Miss Ashley gets her good looks from. Word!

Is anyone else amused/intriguied by the number of women who manufacture a product mostly bought by men?

Tobias, stop and think a minute.... Either or both your Mother or Grandmother knew their way around a kitchen and many such as my Grandmother born in 1884 grew up in the country on a farm and knew one heck of a lot more about knives and uses than I'll ever learn. :-)  So it makes sense to me that making a knife that works well would "also" be a tasking that many women would know very much about.

Toby,

Why do you think they call it "Queen...Cutlery?" 

Duh!

(Forgive me. I woke up on the impish, sarcastic side of the bed this morning)
