......Thank you kindly Sunburst....I would enjoy looking over any Queen photos you would like to share !

tarmix101, I do believe your "kit" would treat a fellow "right" on any woods bumming adventure; it seems as if all the "bases" have been covered in your photo for a successful trip into the back country.

-Regards to all.

This is all great info - I'll have to hope for the best for what I get. If
I have to call them, or get service, well, so be it.

But what I wuz wonderin' about was the lanyard thing - what do you use, how do you make one...etc. ?

Thanks

You can use rawhide and a bone or glass bead. I use para cord. Here is a link to the knot I tie:

Wow - didn't expect such a volume of response (great!).

I did notice the lanyard hole, and I've never made a lanyard "string" (or whatever the right term is). I think I need one, since I'm used to the Spydie clipons for the past few years (great knives, but no romance with FRN, is there .

Anyway, I don't want to lose this puppy when it arrives (tomorrow, hopefully). Any advice on making lanyard strings, how to affix (if that's a word ?!) it to my pocket, etc. ??

BTW, that looks like 550 para cord on some of those lanyard strings...is it?

Thanks

I'm partial to rawhide lanyards myself, and I think this one looks pretty spiffy on my crimson bone/1095 Mtn Man. I don't use it for retention, rather as a means of keeping it positioned tip up in the pocket, and easy withdrawal from the pocket.

Since I have it handy, here's a pic of my Stag/1095 Mtn Man. I also have the S&M File and Wire in Golden Root bone and ATS-34, but no picture, alas.

Hopefully you get one with no blade play. My S&M is the only one of my three that doesn't have any. However, I find it doesn't really bug me so much on the other two.

Regardless, I think you'll really like your knife. Congrats!

Congrats!

I almost purchased the stag version myself. I love the look of that knife. Ultimately I knew what I was going to put my new folder through and went with the "crimson bone" Still not sure I made the right decision after seeing all the pics of the stag MM.

Nice knife LBG:thumbup:

My S&M MM is tight and play-free, fwiw. Nice knife!

Of all my Mountain Man folders made by Queen, about 70% have very slight bladeplay, but not enough to effect use of the knife.

The others have locks that slam home like a bank vault.

Mine isn't the end of the world as far as blade play, but I'm anal retentive about that. It's enough to send it in IMHO.
