Queen #44 Cocobolo, what a BEAST!

JD Mandrell · Dec 13, 2005

One of these BIG beauties arrived inthe mail today, WOW the Cocobolo is nice, I usually lean towards bone over wood for scales, but this stuff is something else.

PS..word from a VERY reliable source is Queen is dropping their Cocobolo line after the first of the year in favor of Bird's Eye Maple.

it's true. I think that it's a change slated for the 2006 year. I may have heard from the same source, if ir starts with "B" and ends with "ill".

Is that the Copperhead? I've been looking at those for quite some time.

Man, that is really nice looking. Wonder how it compares to the mini-hunter #41 as it looks similar, though the mini has a liner lock.

No, it's not the copperhead, it's a #44 folding hunter, that's 5 1/4 inches CLOSED....big ol' slicer!

Nice one. Put it to good use.

Someone (maybe you?) also said Queen is coming out with a 1095 line. Any truth to this?

I noticed the new 1095 Mountain Man SFOs on Cumberland Knife Works. They have a unique "Carbon Steel" box. It doesn't seem likely that they'd create a whole new box for just a couple of small runs.

It's my understanding that Queen is bringing out more than 1 knife in 1095, I believe a Canoe is out + the Mountian Man with more planned.
