Not really a review – I really like this new Queen amber carved stag bone and just wanted to share it.

I previously owned 2 Queen knives. The first was a Mountain Man in stag bone. It has the dubious distinction of having the worst blade play of any folder I have ever owned. The pretend stag didn’t really work for me. I still own it but it rarely gets out of storage.

The second was a Serpentine jack in black cherry. Nice knife but someone forgot to sharpen it before they put it in the box. Once I put a decent edge on it, the D2 proved its worth and I carry it regularly.

The amber stag bone swing guard arrived a couple of days ago. I am pleased to say that workmanship is excellent and the knife arrived with a sharp edge on the D2 blade.

The amber bone is beautiful – the pics just don’t do it justice. The blade swings out smoothly and locks like a knife should. Closing is the same.

What will I do with a swing guard? I have no idea. It’s not the most practical design in this age of so called tactical folders. I may not use it at all – just own it and admire it.

I've never been to big on the swing guards, but that one is a beauty. :thumbup:

Knarf, does the mini trapper have half stops?
 
The mini-trapper has half-stops, of which I am not usually a fan, but they work out well on this one.
