Incredible news Ryan! We wish you all the best in whatever happens but if this is successful just imagine the possibility!

That sounds great! I'll just offer one piece of advice. Of course, we all love the high end blade steels and handle materials but when you take over a company that has a long standing reputation like Queen Cutlery, you gotta keep in mind that there are still alot of people out there who want to buy a nice, high quality, USA made pocket knife for a decent price so keep those folks in mind as you move along. But Good Luck with everything and keep us posted on the progress.

Clearly, lots of things to think through but the possibility is huge. Have you given thought how this might evolve with Tuna Valley? How do you keep the traditions of Queen and yet bring some new ideas and energy?

Most excellent news! I'm wondering how this will affect the Queen collector . . . I'm thinking very favorably.

Hey Ryan and Co, congrats on this awesome expedition. This could be a real opportunity for you guys, I'm more than happy to hear about this. PA has been loosing a great company in Queen with some of the sub par quality they have passed along, but with the Daniels family in control, we'll see this old cutlery giant rise to the top.
