I think Queen made some of the best looking handles ever to come out on production knives. Here are 2 examples of knives I foolishly sold. A Dan Burke collaboration cattle knife with carved bone and BG-42 steel, and a swing guard with amber carved stag bone and D-2 blade.
My 3-1/2" Queen Stockman finally arrived.
This knife, made in 1981, has seen a lot of pocket time.
The blade well was full of lint and crap, the blades are nicely scratched up, the wood darkened from handling.
A good cleaning, some oil, and a strop... now it's ready for 40 more years of service. This is the type of knife that loves being put to work.
Best I can tell, it's a 4210 from the Rawhide series with 440 blades and "Staminawood" (pressure treated) handles.
Just in today. A 2 blade, black wood, #41. Yes, another copperhead. I only had one other 2 blade and the blades are different so...well you guys understand
Nice knife
It's a testament to the endurance and skill at Queen, that so many beauties are being posted here!!
I wonder how it would have fared under an owner like Bill Howard??
His skill and determination showed through in many eras, and he slipped through their fingers!!!
Good for him, but not so much for the old Girl in T'Ville!! But we have the memories!!
Queen Canoes were the best in the biz.
Both blade tangs tucked into/flowed with the bolsters nicely when closed.
Riding on a single back spring the way they ought to. View attachment 1424037
Also a big fan of the collabs they did with Ruple, Burke and Pardue.
Always on the look out to snap up ones I missed out on. Gotta catch em all! View attachment 1424285
