I have just a few. Nothing super special and to be honest bern thinking of working them into my carry.
They were bought with the intention to carry but I never have yet.


The stag mini just begs to be carried even though I’ve had it probably for 10 years now.

When the 2018 forum knife came out I bought one to carry and one to put up. I just slipped one of them into my pocket last month.

Better picture of the mini trapper.

Another one bought with intention to carry a few years back but haven’t yet.

Here’s a few better pictures of the GEC. I love stag. When I took the plunge on my first and only GEC my intention was to make this my main carry. It has only came out of the tube a few times for photos.

One of my earliest safe queens, a souvenir from my very first rendezvous from waynorth 's display case itself. Those who remember, I used to store this in a ziplock bag with mineral oil to protect it

Even cheap knives can be part of a collection

Perhaps the term virginal would be more accurate since these knives may be fondled, but never produce anything through use and labor? Personally, I cannot bring myself to put a knife away without carrying and using it.

I don't have any safe queens. All my knives were bought to be carried & used. I have ones that get carried all the time, then there are those that for one reason or another don't see much use at all. Like this nice little Queen stockman:

I like that. Plus, it's the type of knife you want to get your hands on.

I have many more knives than I can ever use, so most of mine are technically safe queens, but I really don't consider them that way. Occasionally I will pull out something unused just for a change of pace. The only true safe queens I have are my GEC #53 Cuban Stockman collection, which is now complete.

That is an awesome collection!

Thanks, Corn Fed. To find the names of the different handles, if you go to the GEC website and find production totals, my knives are arranged in the order of their lists, from top down then left to right.

same im with ya on that. even my modded ones with blade deletes are essentially new. the only sorta used one is the rebuilt 86 mod that i poorly sharpened. its sharp but lotta scratches from the crock sticks.

Most of my safe queens that fit the Traditional criteria are Buck knives but not all of them.
