My oldest Queen made knives are the Winchester Blue Grass Cutlery series from the late '80s, beautifully done.

A couple of large S&M reverse gunstock stockmen from the early '90s.

A trio of 4" stockmen from the mid '90s.

1998 was a very good year.

2000 began the S&M File & Wire series of knives.

2002 the cocobolo series of Queens.

2004 the carved stag bone Queens.

2008 the amber carved stag bone Queens.

2011 the curly zebrawood Queens.

Thank You Jeff!! As are yours!!!

I only have pics taken of these 2 knives in this series, but there are 5 knives in this series also. Both these are 5 1/2" closed with what Queen calls Morning Ash Worm groove bone covers.

I tried to warn Glenn not to get me started
Another favorite pattern of Queen's is the Swaybelly Trapper. This knife just feels right in my hand, it's a pleasure to use! I carry one of the F&W ATS-34 varieties but they made so many other "pretty" ones........ BUT I can stop any time!!! Right Charlie????

Speaking of Charlie! It's time we posted some of his SFO's from Queen!
Might as well start at the beginning!! These were produced in 2005! My how time flies!!

Charlie's second Harness Jack SFO still holds a special place in my soul
He didn't make very many of these, and really only 2 varieties Golden Rod jigged bone and Ebony!
Plus a couple with Stag covers and I believe 9 with Candy striped cell, most of which self-destructed!

Charlie"s scan!!!!

HJ #3 of Charlie's is the last to date that Queen made!
For some reason he followed the Master Cutler to his new operation! I did enjoy watchin Charlie and Bill at last years Rendezvous interact when they were able to, which wasn't often! But I sure would like to be a fly on the wall during their conversations over the phone! They both know what a traditional knife is suppose to look like and Bill sure knows how to make them just right!! The love they share for old patterns is self evident and I for one am very glad to be alive during this renaissance. It is quite obvious that traditional pocketknives have lost a great deal of share market.....things change...unfortunately in some cases.
But I still have hope for Queen as I'm sure many others do as well
Here is HJ #3, probably the most pocket friendly (well maybe a tie with HJ#6) and a Great punch!

Now if we can just get Duncan to post his Tortoise Shell..........
Still WAY more to come!!
