D Duckdog Superb shots, love that Lever:cool:

Whether or not Queen did access a load of stashed Rodgers Bone to make the BB series for Winchester makes no difference to me. Yes, it could be a little myth that's grown in magnitude;) But the facts speak for themselves: it's amazing bone, bark like, varying in colour some chocolate brown mostly near black. The sheer range of the patterns is deeply impressive, from the small to the monster size, something for everyman:thumbsup: They make very nice exhibition subjects, collector items and really fine EDC knives too. I use a Swell Centre Pen and small shield Stockman really frequently. These knives are remarkable versions of the original Winchesters, as MerryMadMonk MerryMadMonk shows in his recent pictures, but they also contain the DNA and germ of re-born Northfields/Tidioutes too, cool or what?:D

Large Congress from 1996!! Must have been a Yellow Bone series Then? Anyone know??

No, this is not a Yellow Bone series. Just this model was produced in five colors - Brown, Burnt Orange, Green, Red and Yellow (all bone handle).

Question to experts - in what time period did Bill Howard develop knives for Blue Grass?

Thanks for the pictures of the 3902 Whittlers. :thumbsup:
I did not know that the Blue Grass reproductions are so similar to the original.

From about 1987 (first knife was produced that year) to about 2006 (the year he left Queen), except for a period of about 2 years (when he left Queen in 1998 and before he was lured back in 2000).

Approx 1987 - 1993 I'd say, that's the main period for BB Winchesters at least. Others will know more :cool:
 
MerryMadMonk MerryMadMonk Thanks for the exact details, another interesting aspect is that if he was lured back in 2000 he presided over the Queen ACSB series in D2 many of which are extraordinarily good:cool:
