The scales are deep gray, but do in fact have a slight blue hue. This knife feels great in the hand. The fit and finish on this one is really good. The bevel and edge are typical queen however and I will have to reprofile it.
Is it just me or do those scales have a purplish hue to them. Maybe it's the light or maybe just my eyes. In any case, they really make the knife "pop". Very nice indeed.
The birdseye maple handles can be grey....pinkish or even tinted purple. Not being a fan of pink so much, I'm careful when buying the knives in Queen's birdseye maple line.![]()
