Disco Stu, no "mistake", really. I know some of the folks at Ontario/Queen and their arrangements with each other and their parent company confuse me, sometimes! On the topic at hand, I am very impressed with the quality that I see in Queen's knives, especially their high end lines like Queen's Winterbottom bone, Robeson, and Schatt & Morgan. These lines include really interesting patterns and top of the line materials and workmanship. IMHO, nobody does it better in a factory-made pocket knife than Queen. My only major criticisms of Queen are that they probably don't offer as many patterns and options, at any one time, that they should for maximum consumer interest and that their new product development and marketing and sales could use a shot in the arm. If Queen could expand their lines in terms of numbers of patterns , materials, and options; sustain or even enhance the quality of its products; and do what is necessary to promote and sell its knives; this "quiet company" could make even the likes of Case look to its laurels.
