I stumbled upon this site : https://queencutleryhistory.com/ : and it made me think about Charlies thread.
Tons of great info there.

And I thought of this thread, and fortunately found it!!
Remember 2010, and this behemoth BF knife?? I was still working then, and thought nothing of carrying this large knife around!! I could "bear" the weight!!
And I could always rely on it to do the job! One of my favorite BFs!!
Even though Bill was gone, Queen did a good job!! I heard they put some serious strain on their old tooling with this one, however!!

Once again, I just can share your opinion! Mine (curtesy @WillPower) needs a good strong hand to open, especially the clip.

Great thread with knives from one of my favorite all time makers. I was hoping to see some examples in here from the Queen Cutlery Classics series they did circa 2004-2005. The series contained Classic Stag, Classic Redstag, Classic Bone, Classic Celluloid and Classic Casein. Anyone remember these - made in small quantities, had special boxes (waynorth shows a box in a post on page 1), not in the 2004-2006 Queen catalogs? I always assumed they were an SFO (for KSF or Cumberland maybe). Anyone know?

Here a picture containing the only one I own. The top knife with "Mountain Man" on the blade was a later SFO from Cumberland Knife Works (circa 2006).

Great looking MMs.
Its a model I am fond of but have never gotten a good example. I've owned a couple over the years but mine always had poor, way too thick primary grinds (which in turn required some ridiculous secondary bevels just to fake some kind of edge). Mine were no doubt from Queens later years of existence.
Yours look just right. Thanks for posting. I may have to resume my search for a good one.

I recently picked up two Northwoods barlows made by Queen, I really dig them.

Very "Regal" knife, John; fit for royalty!! One of their better efforts!! Is there a year on it anywhere?

the Queen Cutlery Classics series they did circa 2004-2005.

BTW, those Classics were SFOs by Ken Daniels!! Before he got together with Bill to form GEC!! I've had a couple - wish I'd kept them!!

Thanks Charlie, no date on this one but other Robeson's I have are dated 2001, I suspect this is from the same era, it is very high quality.

GREAT to see you posting, hope you are getting adjusted to your new hip.

I know this is an older post, but could you tell me more about the brass bolstered barlow? Thanks

David, That is a Trestle Pines knife made by Queen for TSA Knives (Greg). My son-in-law has that particular knife. They made several different patterns.
