Yep, that knife IS sweet! :thumbsup:
Been thinking...maybe we should keep Boker our little secret, ;) and not talk so much about their great F&F, awesome W&T, and beautiful covers. I know we won’t be able to resist posting a photo every once in a while, but maybe we should make it look like this:

WARNING! Boker knives and Barlows in particular are not a safe alternative to GEC!

What do you think? This way we can keep them all to ourselves!;):thumbsup:

Incredible color on the Queen, John. I wish we (GEC) would try for that on the forum #86.

Thanks Jeff, the Queens from that run all seemed to have very nice bone, I might be remembering wrong but I think I heard that they found a stash of old Ulster or Utica bone that was used on these. These Queen Anniversary Barlows are almost 50 years old now.
