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!

This was on FB today.  Have someone local to you that you think should carry these?

I am looking up a bunch of sporting goods stores in my general, I'll post them later.

Here's a few stores in my area:

  Lafayette Shooters; 337-205-7232

   St. Landry Lumber Co.;  337-942-2227

   Double Action Outdoor Sports; 337-457-3007

   Bullets and Bows;  337-334-0033

   Buckfins-n-Feathers;  337-837-6100

    I'll add a few more latter, I hope this helps, if more info is needed, let me know.

Miss Jan, are those stores and numbers what you wanted?

Yes sir Robert, I passed them on to Ashley

From the FB page

Here at Queen one of the very few things we out source is our Heat Treating. This is what our blades and springs look like before they are shipped out to be heat treated. The PH on our PH-D2 blades actually stands for the company's name we heat treat through, Peters Heat Treat

Peters Heat Treat is in Meadville, PA - north of Pittsburgh, so not only are the Queen knives made in PA, but the heat treat is done in PA.

Yep, right here in my backyard.  I used to work at a tool shop in Meadville when I was in High School, and we used PHT for all the tool steel treating.

Queen Dan Burke Winterbottom Mini Trapper (bought from Kevin Pipe collection)

Queen #9

Ken, that Mini trappper is very nice!

Thanks Jan, I am not sure what "Dan Burke" is or who he is. I was going to ask that tomorrow night.

Ms. Courtney was having some fun with the Kiddo project last weekend

,

Ken that is one good looking #9 that you have. 

It makes me jealous.

Thanks Rome

Okay...seems I may have a budding knife enthusiast in the house. I'd love to find some info on kid related knife projects. I think it would be very cool to start her a collection of her own. And what are the chances of finding older kids knives...as in kids knives from previous years? Would appreciate any info I can get. Thanks folks!

I have one "bird knife " my grand kids love they also like all of the novelty and advertising knives, trick knives ring turners etc. Boy Scout Girl Scout and Brownie are all possibilities. The old sliding knives are reasonable and fun to collect. When my grand kids have their sixth birthday they get a pocket knife if their parents say they are ready and I gave one to my last granddaughter to turn 6. Hope this helps.

Help get the word around about Knife Days please share this video with your friends and mark October, 23-25 2014 on you calender!

From Design to your Door ~ The Queens' Gathering  

Here are photos from this weeks guest Pat Vroman, Quality Control 

When we are copying a knife from a custom maker I tear apart the knife starting by tracing outline of parts by hand on to paper and transferring them onto steel and cut them out with a band scroll saw leaving parts a little heavy to get down to exact size needed and finish them to desired size. We will then use these hard copy parts to send out to get lasered out at Tonnard MFG. Corp out of Corry, PA

This is the die set with box type box fixture we use for quick and easy insertion for our new Tommy blocks to be dropped in

We use a stationary router table with fixtures we make in house to accommodate each style here are some Fossilized Spalted Maple Burl handles before and after routing

These are our new Bolster blocks after they were knocked in. Still need cleaned and sent to Peters Heat Treat to be Annealed and heat treated to 58- 60 for RC

This small forge is how we heat our Bolster Die blocks up before dropping in
