I have one of those Queen Workhorse Barlow Sheepfoot, a simple inexpensive knife that's well made. Too bad Queen was unable to keep its quality at acceptable levels at the end. These were nice useful workers.

Most of us Queen people probably saw the writing on the wall long before they closed the doors. It just seems like every knife I bought from them had something wrong with it, so I just quit buying them. I had hopes when the Daniels family bought the business, but sadly you know the rest. Fortunately there are still many of the old Queen knives available.

Drove past a mining town named Wilkeson that was founded mid to late 1800's after a railroad was built to haul mined coal and sandstone. Coal was railed to Tacoma and converted to coke then shipped out to San Francisco foundries. (to make knives? :D)

Kept driving and crossed this bridge.

Then hit the end of the road that was washed out.

That bridge is something else. Down in the bottom of that gorge is an old ghost town. I’ve never been to it and didn’t even know about it until a few years ago.

Wow that is really amazing of you!

I was thinking about donating a couple things aswell. But sadly where i live there aren’t a lot of museums that are dedicated to ww2… so for now i keep them displayed together with other war related items.

I think you might be pleasantly surprised Jack , the ones we tried yesterday were quite good actually. I am not sure if they match the "real" ones though ;)

We ended up calling in at a Lebanese restaurant, and left stuffed to the gills, so the 'meatballs' were put on hold Dan, but I'm looking forward to trying them. I've had a couple of burgers I was very impressed by :) :thumbsup:

Böker makes a very decent knife and particularly admire those Washboard Bone scales- grippy and elegant. Their Whittler is just right. I had one in Green Washboard Bone but gave it away to a German member, he was delighted with it as for some crazy EU reason he couldn't buy German made Böker Traditionals in Germany. Pity Andi is no longer contributing, but life moves people on in different directions, there is a life outside knives too ;)
