That is one gorgeous knife Jan! Queen sure did us up Proud!

Yes they did!  Thanks Max

How Sweet It Is!

Awesome looking knife

Any Queens come your way for Christmas?

No, I only got one vintage knife and a small multi-tool, in the way of knives this Christmas but my birthday is in April.....lol

Here's a trio of Schatt and Morgans that just arrived from Derek Cooper! I committed to buying them before we were really into the Christmas shopping mode, so I told my wife these were her gift to me this year.

I think it's best to do the shopping myself for the collection, because telling people you collect pocket knives with the expectation that they might get you something you actually want is a lot like telling someone you collect coins and having them save up their pocket change to give you. Nice thought, but you'll usually miss the mark if you're not sure of what a nice addition to the collection would be.

What a great trio Pat

Pat,

You did very well!!!!  You are so right about shopping for a collector and when you try to search out what would be right for them...you end up hooked on knives yourself

Those are some beauties Pat!

Pat fine lookin' Trio!

And, when the IKC 2013 collector knife arrives, I will have collected one each of a 1,2,3 and 4-blade Queen variant for this year - a Queen Cutlery Grand Slam for 2013!

By the way, IKC Member Derek Cooper still had several of these knives and others when last we communicated. He's listing several online, but if you favor a particular pattern or style, contact him to arrange a deal. Knives are new in box, believed to be manufactured circa 2000 and are duplicates in his collection.

I have bought from Derek also, easy and wonderful transaction.  The result was one sweet knife at a reasonable price

:-)

I have a lot left. Please message me. I am still learning how to use this forum. My email is dbcooper70@verizon.net

Best,

Derek

Derek, 

Aren't you worried that the FBI might come looking for you with an email address of D.B. Cooper? lol

Being an ex-paratrooper with the last name of Cooper had me a little nervous back in the 70's when the real D.B. Cooper pulled the original skyjacking.

I cracked up just now when I saw your email addy. lol

p.s., Dude! What did you do with the money? I promise. I won't tell a soul.

************************************************************

For anyone too young to know about D.B. Cooper, here's a link that should enlighten you: D.B. Cooper

Back when that happened here in the Northwest, I was about 8 years old and had a fake oversized $20 bill from the County Fair with the artist's rendering of DB Cooper's picture on it.

Let's just say that the material Derek used for packing the knives he shipped was... unique... Just kidding, it was bubble wrap.

LOL Pat and Ron!  I never put that together when I looked at his email address

I stole this off FaceBook ....ooops I mean borrowed....but i couldn't resist

A Family that truly PROMOTES knife collecting

Great pic of the Daniels gang!

Have any of you ever checked out the line of Queen Classics that The Daniels Family had done before the Queen Purchase?

Looks like they are having fun at the SHOT Show booth

Mark P. Hall-Patton. If you don't know who he is you might have seen him on Pawn Stars to do historian appraisals. 

The ladies are making you all look awfully good guys!

The lady knows how to show a knife!

Looks great, thanks for the pictures.

I dont think I meet up with Queen until the Dalton Show in March and that is way to long to get my hands on these knives so i think I may have to order the stag sunfish coming out in the Keystone series VERY soon

SNEAK PEEK ALERT

Surprise Release: S&M Limited Run Whittlers !

Sweet whittler

Real sweet, yes real sweet.

Thanks, Jan.  I sent a note to TSA asking what steel is in these whittlers.  Just now, so haven't heard back.

Thanks Jan - I'm praying for the "File & Wire" ATS-34 steel in this knife - but I'm not holding my breath !!

I believe they are stainless. 

Thank you, Ashley.  It is so very nice that you are tuned in here.  Can't do better than information from Queen itself/herself.

Well I did order one of the whittlers.  I chose the worm groove.  Cant wait to see it

This morning I had one of those "YOU KNOW YOUR A COLLECTOR WHEN" Moments

I started taking pics of the new #21 whittler that came yesterday.  not surprising, I take pics of just about everything for you all.  I love to share them.  

Check out the tangs on this sweet little whittler!  Any help in identifying them? 

I love this knife.  There is not one thing about it that doesn't scream COLLECT ME.  With a small run of only 100 in each of the two handle materials, it will become a knife in my pocket for shows

Yes, it is a sweet knife Jan.

That's a real beauty, Jan! I'm a big fan of S&M's Keystone series!

Thanks Ken, I am also Ron.  You should have seen me with this one...

OH look at the tang stamps, then off to find out which tang stamps they are LOL

Same place you wrote your comment, Dale. 2nd icon in from the left top corner (right beside your avatar) will say Image if you put your mouse pointer over it. Click Image, then hit Choose File. Find where you have the photo saved on your computer, click on it, and it should come up in the Comments window. Hit the big blue Add Comment button below and to the right of the Comments window, and you should be all good!

Dale, let me know if you need some more help, I would sure like to see it!

Just saw this on FB

Sending out some of our Queen City Line today! Make sure to look out for them with our distributors and dealers in the near future!

That green is awesome!

Great looking Queen

Hey check out parts!

These are the Large Sunfish Queen City Handles. This picture shows you what a handle looks like during the process of being routed for the shield to fit.

That's awesome, I love seeing pictures of the knvies "in process", before they are finished.  I would like to see the handle's before jigging, and the tang stamping process too.  Very cool!

Very cool, them are some good llokin' scales too!
