That’s a really nice one. :)
 
These three Queens arrived last week, and I just now got to photograph them.... three more to add to my "winterbottom bone" group.... the little one in this group is smaller than a Case peanut.... it's a tiny little double pen knife...don't know what the official designation would be, but it looks like a double pen blade to me...

Winterbottom is one of my favorite bones. Those look sweet!

NICE.... single blade spear-points are becoming a favorite of mine, Barlows or Jacks.... that ram's horn looks a lot like some of the mammoth I've seen posted on here.

Winterbottom is very good bone, pity it's scarce these days although GEC did a Tractor Green/Red in the style and their Cougar Claw is similar. I would think that small knife is a 'Senator' ?

I think you might be correct... technically, being symmetrical on both ends, it would be a senator... at least that was one of the qualifications I found in an old (2011) thread on BF. Small, usually single spring, blade pivots on each end, symmetrical. Bingo! :D
I really like GEC's cougar clawed bone... I have one, an orange bone 74, looks just like a winterbottom style to me, but with slightly larger grooves. I wonder if Queen had the term winterbottom trademarked?

Yes the Orange Bone on my stainless 15 is grooved like Winterbottom. I don't think Queen trademarked it,and anyway with them being defunct I assume that wouldn't be valid...? My recollection is that Winterbottom was achieved by using a particular type of jigging machine. Queen stopped offering it and it may be that their machinery wore out? Merely a guess though.

Thanks, Will
 
I can't say that this is a new addition, because I bought it 30 years ago when traveling in North Lapland, Inari, on our honeymoon. If I remember right it is made by local smith (Laiti, if I'm right). I gave it to my son for his boyscout expeditions about 10 years ago and now he returned it. Dull and the sheath has some surface damage, so I have some work ahead. I don't know what to do with the sheath. There is enough leather left in the worn area, so maybe I will just put on some color and wax, and say it has some character. Still, I was happy to see this again, it reminds me of our long journey together with my wife.

Boy, been AWOL for a few days and don't know how I'll ever catch up. Busy weekend, including estate sales. There were a few knives: 1) Cracked ice Imperial Toothpick; 2) Imperial pen knife. Kim's; 3) Christmas Tree Case #18 100th Anniversary Stockman. Kim's; 4) Schrade+ 285UH; 5) Schrade N. Y. U.S.A. 293; 6) Schrade U.S.A 96OT; 7) Craftsman Stockman, haven't done any research on this yet; 8) Buck 119 C. No idea what the C stands for; 9) Imperial Lambsfoot. Not from the estate sale, picked this up at a little store on the way home. Kim's. Another fun weekend. Will add detail as I get them cleaned up and we carry them. The first two Imperials cleaned up beautifully :)
