Don't know what it is about the 15 in yellow bone but always puts a smile on my faceView attachment 845310 View attachment 845311 This was a really nice mail call. The TC is courtesy of a generous BF member. Very grateful he allowed me to strike a deal with him. The Ebony is from an authorised GEC dealer. The TC speaks for itself. But I'm astonished at the fit and finish and slender nature of the 78. Best to all. MJ.
You did a great job!This arrived today, and I gave it a lambfoot treatment:

Robeson ShurEdge, made by Queen during Bill Howard's time. The tang stamp is a little off - @T.Erdelyi this one is stamped 612224, made in 1999. I thinkblack mamba would like this one with an ATS-34 blade...
Very nice Paul! I had my eye on that same knife. Really unique covers. You did well! Congrats!In my pursuit of Queen made knives, I just added this wonderful Railsplitter in Honey Corn Cob jigged bone covers. I was on the fence about the covers but they just kept calling to me. D2 steel, solid blades all in a hefty yet compact package. I love the knifeIt came as dull as a butter knife but with time and patience she is laser sharp now
