Anyone tried this blade(Queen cutlery fixed blade)?

I've been looking at that series of knives for a long while now. I went with a different fixed blade, but I still like the looks of that one and think it'll be a nice little knife.
 
Thank you for the answers so far, it`s residing in my wishlist at my preferred dealer at the moment.
But the BUY-button might be pressed tomorrow or next day, when pay comes in, LOL....
(Will also be accompanied by a BK17, BK7 and BK9, maybe matching knife to my son for me too, LOL....)
 
I have a similar Queen fixed blade, one of the honey-brown bone models. It seems to be very well made, and an appropriate size and design for your needs.
I think you and your son will be happy with a Queen fixed blade, especially considering the reasonable prices.

Looks like a good starter, full flat grind and full tang. If the rockwell is 54 or so pick it up. Nice little slicer.

54rc sounds pretty low for a D2 blade
 
I sharpen on Diamond hones so if it`s hard steel I can sharpen it with relative ease anyway...
But the knife seems like a good whittler/bushcrafter starter-knife for my son, (he allready broke his Helle Scout-knife battoning, so that lesson is learnt, LOL)
Full tang is the way to go with him I guess.....
 
I have a Queen similar to that one. Only mine has the spalted maple handle scales. I love it. The D2as Queen puts it out is very good. Mine will hold an edge for quite a while. It has been my hog skinning knife for several years now. I have skinned and quartered up to 13 hogs in a single session and my Queen still had a good working edge. That says a lot because the hogs I skin arent domestics. They wild feral hogs in Texas. They have thick skins with lots of course hair and dried mud on them. These hogs will put a knife to the test. And my Queen fixed blade just zips right through them, and is my go to knife for hog butchering. So I recon it would also work fine for the whitling your youngster may be doing.

Thank you very much mley, this is what I like to hear....
Up here in Norway we have`nt got the selection of quality blades like you have in the US, so my best source for purchasing is the
interwebs, LOL..
So I have to relly on the good people og this magnificent forum to hear how these things handle and stand up to everyday use...
 
Love the Queen knives. Great value! I carry a small stockman daily and use other models. The D2 holds a great edge. One of the best performing knives for the money.
 
It's going to arrive dull and you will have to re profile the edge. I have a similar one with the gold redwood burl handle. Construction is good and the knife is great. The sheath is loose though. But at that price and for quality D2 with peters heat treat the sheath is basically a freebie in my opinion.
 
I have the skinner version with salted maple scales. As the others have said, Queen does a good job with their D2. Mine was dull from the factory but once I reprofiled the edge and used my paper wheel sharpener it was razor sharp. I used it last year as a dedicated skinner for the three whitetail deer I processed. I keep the blade coated with paste wax and it hasn't shown any signs of corrosion yet.

Overall I would say the Queen D2 knives are a great value.
 
I have that one in a limited edition version with bone scales (second from right).
Nice knife. Good size and profile. Came with an excellent leather sheath as well.
The higher Rockwell sounds right, because the D2 is tougher to sharpen than some other steels.
Holds a great edge though.
