Queen City Trapper (very sad)

Just what I suspected. Great job sir. And I agree with thawk, that is the best warranty voiding I have yet to see.
 
Great job of turning a second that should be sent back into a dream knife. I'm impressed!!!
 
Me either.
Seals, just curious, how did you get rid of the gap?

After the scales are off just tap the liner and or bolster back against the springs where its suppose to be.Sometimes that causes other problems but this one worked out ok.

Thanks. In production they must always go to the plus side of the tolerances just to fit together. Thats the only thing I can think of that would cause a gap like that, other than the nail bending when pressed together.
 
I think I am going to avoind buying another Queen. I have been lucky so far, especially with the Mountain Man pattern - and whilst I'd like an amber bone slipjoint version of that one, it just feels like I would be taking quite a risk ... though even as I say it ... slipjoint amber bone Mountain Man ... mmmm :lol:
 
I just recieved a Queen Canoe also with the same problem of a very weak main blade and gap between spring and liners. I guess I really don't understand why this happens. Queen is not alone of course but how can a company make a specialty collectible product with these problems and expect to stay in business?

I have a Dan Burke Barlow that has a nice fit and finish and I have no complaints. I don't know, I really like thier patterns and choice of using D2 steel and beautiful bone.
