Can anyone tell me about these knives? Are they good bad, or what? I have read a review saying not so good stuff about one. Moore Maker bad review They make a few model that I was thinking about getting but am not so sure now! :confused:

Another question, are they made by Queen Cutlery Co.? I've seen on this auction site that they were! Ebid
 
The yellow jigged and smooth bone Mooremakers are made by Queen.

The Buffalo Horn and Yellow "work" Delrin handled ones are made by Camillus.

Quality tends to be pretty high, the Queen ones are probably the higher end ones.
 
I don't have a Mooremaker but I have a couple of Winchesters that were made by the same company (yeah, they're Queens) and they are pretty good. If they're like the Winchesters, they will be a definite cut above Case quality, with good walk and talk, blades made of good carbon steel and a sharp point (which Case insists on tumbling away in giant polishing vats).

You don't have many options in slipjoints at that price point that will be better than Mooremaker. The Robeson marque is currently on hiatus. The quality Winchester repros are no longer made, but cheap Chinese imports are being sold under that name now. Schatt & Morgan seem to be producing knives with 420HC or 420J2 lately and they cost even more than the others. Heck, they're all made by Queen anyway.

If you want a really perfect slipjoint, you're gonna have to fork over a bit more money to a custom maker. Some can be fairly affordable, but still a good bit more expensive than a Mooremaker. You could always order one and check it out for yourself. If you don't like it, send it back.
 
Glad to hear some positive responses. :cool: I've found an Even Ended Trapper that I think I'll order and give it a try. Guess if they are made by Queen then they will be ok. I like Queen knives, have about 6 of them!

Thanks! :thumbup:
 
My MooreMaker small stockman is an every day carry. fit and finish is very good. It was one of their snazzy stag handled ones. It's non-stainless and takes an edge like a razor blade. I use it all the time.
