Congratulations, Steve!

I can't think of anyone more deserving of some recognition than you, my friend! And the photograph of that oak handled Queen fixed blade that I remember--set against the backdrop of that blue Missouri sky--was nothing short of spectacular. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you and your knife in Knives Illustrated.

Congrats, again, my broster!

You're Famous!  Congratulations, Steve!

The Queen knife is on order. It's a Mini Work Horse Trapper. It should make someone a great outdoors knife. A special thanks to Terry Ray at TC Collectables.

  To enter for this Free knife go to the Outdoor Group,in the 2014 Spring Adventures Discussion.

Just ordered my first Queen knife, a Rail Splitter courtesy of Greg at TSA. I have been looking at them for a while now and couldn't stand the strain any longer . It will be an expensive month with the new GEC #92 that I am buying as well !

Awesome knife John

You have mad two great choices, John.

Just got my first Queen knife yesterday, Rail Splitter, it is a great knife . Really sturdy little fellow with nice short blades which is good when you live in the UK , knives are kind of frowned on here and big knives , well.....

Anyway I would recommend this to anyone looking for a tough little edc, D2 blades nice bone etc. Haven't tried sharpening the D2 yet so that may be interesting, not as bad an edge as a lot of knives that I have seen out of the box. Not a lot of them about I believe but the last I knew Greg had one left.

Tonight, don't forget to tell your friends, there's a Queen Knife give away in the Outdoor Group. It's a Queen Trapper Work Horse, pass the word.

Robert, who is entered?

Everyone that has posted an Outdoor Adventure or outing, in the Outdoor Group. Don't worry, it doesn't end till the end of May. I just thought, this would be a good way to pass the word about it, tonight. Thanks.

Tonights chat was fun! Ryan asked if there was anything you want to have a chat with Queen about

Real sweet Queen Trapper, Ken.

You mean the Rail Splitter Steve ?

If so then I will tell you honestly I have been carrying it pretty much non stop since receiving it. It's only the second Stockman I have bought and I was unsure if I was going to like the pattern or not. It's also the first bone handled knife that I have bought and if Greg hadn't  sold the Zebra Wood knives that he had I would have gotten one of those.

Having said that this little knife is just one of those that seems to be just hard to not pick up in the morning , I think that it is somehow more than It should be it is not quite as slick to open as the GEC that I have and the D2 is kind of hard to sharpen and yet this is the knife that that goes in my pocket. Used it yesterday to cut up some old carpet, I am decorating the back bedroom, The knife was still sharp after that, not as sharp but still usable. I really love the bone handle and am now thinking of buying more Queen knives with this kind of bone, though I still like the idea of the Zebra Wood. All in all I would recommend this knife without reservation, though I guess anyone who buys one may find that it takes over from the rest of the collection ,as it has with me !

Spoke with Ken on Saturday, he and the crew were at the factory getting things in place

Way to go, Ashley!

I'm lookin at the oak behind the Queen Oak-handled fixed blade.  Nice feature, Steve.

Very Cool Steve!

Awesome experience Steve

Congrat's Steve.

Great pics of the process, Jan.  Thanks.

 When we first bought Queen there were already some individuals that had a great passion for the preservation on Queen Cutlery Co. history even though the owners didn't For many years on their own they would do things to in courage others to take a interest also. Now with help of those men we have started a online-database of historical items. We will be launching them on Thursday so please check it out and let us know how we can make it better.

Don't seem to be live yet.

I see the page, it's working for me.  Here is the link.

Found it now Carl thanks.

Historical Documents

Well the show is going well, we sold a few things and met some new people.  I eyed up a nice knife, looked at it again a few hours later, and when I finally got all set to go over and hold it a 3rd time, I found out it had been sold.  Guess I should have bought it when I had the chance.  I'll have to keep looking.

Good to hear Carl and we sure wish we were there.  What were you looking at?
