"Billy Oneale and Bob Welch. Thank you for your interest and comment on these recent posts. We think it was a critical time!  50 -40 years ago makes it fair game for "history" "

Welcome, Dan!  Out of sheer curiosity, to which knife publication(s) do you subscribe?  It feels like those of us with knife magazine subscriptions are rare -- even here! 

And while I don't know much about Queen knives, I really fell for the Mountain Man & other similar knives (single blade lockback (trapper?) with a straight clip point (vs the curved clip as on the Buck 110 & similar knives)).

All that said, again, welcome!!
