What condition would you consider a "Safe Queen" to be in?

[Bob W]

If a knife was advertised as "safe queen," I would expect some light fondling marks but no evidence of use-wear.

And a good picture is always worth a thousand words.

I think that's the main problem here, the Sale photo was inaccurate.

not good to not send accurate photos, not good at all.

Photos should be of the condition of the knife the day you advertise it for sale.
