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Historical Documents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?

Hopefully either Ashley or Ryan got us some pics of the show

Shamelessly stealing FB pics

Ken and Bill Ruple chatting it up during the show

Always nice to see everyone and families getting their knife hobby on!

Here are a few I took from the show.

The axes and this picture are some of Fred Fisher's collection display.

I finally got the knife I've been looking for.  Very happy with this one.  I've been attempting to improve my photography skills as well, so this was a trail & error project with lighting and background objects.  I think it turned out pretty good.

Carl, great looking knife and great pic to.

That pictured turned out great, Carl. Great lookin' stag on that beauty, too! A definite winner, fersure!
