Can someone ID this Queen knife?

Picked this up rather cheap. Nice pull ,no blade play and great snap.
The only thing I don't like are the pins in the bolsters protrude slightly.
None of my other knives have pins in the bolsters and I'm not sure
why this one does.

It looks like it's built on the #99 frame. Queen made a line of knives with bolster pins like that. I don't remember the name but the called them "The Workman Series" or something similar to that.

Nice looking knife!

blade(s) pivot on the bolster pins, and the pin serves double duty by holding the knife together. on the end without a blade (when applicable) the pin holds that end of the knife together. On most knives the pins are ground/polished flush and are not visible.

That knife was part of the Work Horse series. Carbon steel blades and exposed pins.

Indeed a Workhorse in carbon. Released during the Daniels era around 2013 your one uses faux Winterbottom Bone in delrin which was a homage to Queen's use of the real thing back in the last half of the c20th. The exposed pivots do look a bit odd but were used to keep it budget and do have one very good feature. if the blade gets a bit of play, a vice squeeze or a gentle whack with a small hammer fixes it up no problem.

Here's my Barlow in brown delrin cost me 29 USD including shipping to Europe and a very solid well made item too.

My Queen DFC Workman barlow is like that (raised pins).
