Yes, Carbo, you picked it out. And for further confirmation, you really thinned out the edge on this one.
The bevel is almost an eighth inch wide! What a slicer!

Yes indeed, it's too bad they never come that way from the factory, but that Queen has a great edge. I had the new primary bevel done by Razor's Edge (member here at bf) and then touched up on a Sharpmaker, really makes the D2 shine.

I agree about gunstocks being better with a single blade, but I still find it to be a very handsome and comfortable pattern with a secondary pen. A single blade Queen gunstock with curly zebra or their amber bone stag would be AWESOME.
 
Here are few more old ones. Top one is a Curtin & Clark Cutlery Company St. Joseph MO. (1898-1909) Ebony Jack. Middle is a Robeson Pearl Pen (1911-1921 Rochester, NY) Bottom one is a very rare Robeson Gunstock split back Whittler pattern ( 1911-1921 Rochester, NY) with worm groove jigged bone.520D85B1-37FB-4154-90C4-DB119823C696.jpeg 56521BDD-C1AB-4CD1-ACC5-56E1DE915190.jpeg
 
Sweet!! What a nice trio, Lloyd!! I couldn't decide which one to carry - I'd have to carry all three!!!

All three are very nice Lloyd , but I think the Robeson is very special .

I love the handle pattern of the gunstock, but the pen secondary confuses me. A single blade would seem to make more sense as you can get a better grip (so to speak) on the contours of the handle. The secondary blade seems to block access to the contours. Are there any single blade gunstocks out there?

Queen made this single blade in their File and Wire Series, with a saber grind she's hell for stout but like all sabers not that good a slicer. ;)

Interesting Saber grind knife, Dave. A beauty, but it's true they are not the best slicers. I wonder what the main rationale for them happens to be. The added strength would imply "stabbing" but a fixed blade or a lockback is much more appropriate. Hmmmmmmm . . . . . . . . . .?

Thanks for the kudos on the Morley!!
 
Here's two by John Lloyd . I sure wish I would've taken a picture of both side by side
