I just got my red camel bone a couple of hours ago. I am pretty impressed with KSF; they got it to me nine days after I placed the order, and that includes international shipping and the whole customs to-do.
The knife is great. Flush in all three positions, zero gaps, perfectly centered blade, and nice smooth transitions (well, except for some sunken pins). The bone actually looks better than it did on KSF's site. What I took to be some uneven texture or minor chipping is actually perfectly smooth in real life (a bit of color variation in that spot is what made it look that way).
Apologies for the crappy photos. I am not too good at it in the first place, and it was dark out long before I got the knife home. Hopefully, I will be able to get some better pictures over the weekend.

Really nice, lots of these had pretty loose cutouts for the shields but yours looks really well done.

I don't know about you but this red micarta is starting to get me in the spirit.
Everytime I see your wood carvings it makes me smile. Nice knife too

It always takes a bit longer for knives to arrive here, but this one got here pretty quick 
Photos with it's 2015 cousin.
Just a touch larger as someone mentioned earlier. I do kind of wish they'd have not used a half stop with these nice rounded ends but I'll get over it

I just got this one. Just want to confirm this is a 2020 and was made by GEC and not Queen? I didn’t realize at the time there was a 2015 run by Queen and I guess a 2020 by GEC. Is the steal CPM 154?

While I’m no expert, that looks more like a GEC made knife than a Queen made knife.
If it’s Queen it should be 154CM and if it’s GEC it should be 1095 right? You could cut an apple and see if it patinas haha.

Very cool. Thank you. I went to that website earlier but couldn’t get to this archive.
