I have one of these albeit mine isn't nearly as handsome but it's a dandy of a fixed blade; ideal sized IMHO.

both... hummina hummina! Amazing that old Mora is still pristine. and Brett I've oggled the GEC Sportsmen Hunters for I dont know how long and was only saved by my small but lovely collection of old camillus, HSBs, and Cattarauguses. Anyone evr see what happened to the 73 Hatchets they made?
My grandpa gave me a knife when I was a young teenager that was almost identical to these except it had stag handles. The thing must have been from the 50s or 60s. I lost the knife in my more reckless yearsI have really been eyballing those in the bone...Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in the GEC fixed blades. Beautiful knives IMO

But I'm even more desperately waiting for this:

Lucydog - Great pattern, thin blades, nice pull usually on those, and just an overall great knife.
Congrats :thumbup:
KP, definitely a newer Queen made knife. The tool steel is a dead giveaway. Queen started using D2 in the late '90s or early 2000s, and I don't think Robeson ever did. Still, a great bone handled knife for the money, especially with the steel upgrade. Nice buy.
Next week I'll be getting this:

I can not think how i missed these when they came out, so i have had to wait until one came up for sale on a forum over here in the UK. This one should be with me on Tuesday.
