God Save the Queen!!

Too bad some always feel the need add "but..." after praise for the deceased Queen.

I like all my Queen-made knives; warts and all. Never sent one back...ever.

Queen/S&M copperheads:

Let's not forget that Queen also went in for fixed blades for much of its history.
Here, a very tidy D2 blade in ACSB a useful fishing, filet B&T type knife.

For my knife money, the 1990s through Bill's leaving in 2006 belonged to Queen: great quality at a terrific price meant phenomenal value.

A trio of Queen made Colonel Coons. The wood on these is extremely attractive in person. F&F on all three is excellent.


A pair of 56's in delrin. Note the different blade complement. I suspect the top one was assembled from available parts at the end of days when the barbarians (lawyers) were at the gates

Queen made Moore Makers. Nice yellow bone. They're about the size of the Buck 301 and 302. The single blade has a shield on both sides. For engraving I'd guess. Nice knives. I'm partial to the single blade myself.



Full size Queen, 5" toothpicks. One has a shield and smooth bone, one is shieldless with jigged bone. Nail nicks are in different places. Same frame, same blade (as far as I can tell). One is a #20 and one is a BB7. Not sure why View attachment 1417658
Nice, well made knives nonetheless

Queen made great Moore Makers!!

 

[Old Hunter]

Robeson Medium Stockman from the 1960’s/70’s era, made by Queen I think. OH

 

[Old Hunter]

Winchester Moose (Blue Grass Cutlery by Queen). This is perhaps the heaviest and most heavy duty slipjoint pocketknife I own (surpassing my Buck 307 and Case 6275) and exhibiting perfect F&F and W&T. OH

 

[JohnDF]

You guys made me go out and buy an old Queen Stockman...

[JohnDF]

Very cool, what's the top one?

 

[Will Power]

Another one I like to use: Teardrop linerlock D2 steel and ACSB.

I don't mind using the Maker's Mark either

Those are all outstanding! Question about the wormgroove Wharncliffe: Is that considered a trapper pattern, or...?

 

[black mamba]

After Bill left in 2006 Queen continued to produce very good knives until about 2012, when the quality began a slow decline. In their standard Queen offerings, the cocobolo (2001) were followed by the natural stag bone (2004), then the amber stag bone (2007), then the zebrawood (2010). I've had many from this time frame, and all were very high quality knives.

I think the knife you are referring to is the third one down in my post #84, and it's a 4½" closed English Jack. In my post #97 the original is also the third photo down, and the big spear was reground into the Wharncliffe by Master Smith Don Hanson III.
