Ooh, Jeff!!! What a find!

Thanks, red!

Jeff that’s so dark it looks black! Very cool!
Thanks, Neal

Neal, it's like my sock drawer. I have to put a black sock next to a blue one to tell which is which.

Jeff, I'll chime in also on that indigo beauty, love that deep dark blue! Those keystone shields look really nice as well. Nice find

 

[black mamba]

Thanks, Duane, always appreciated.

Some more Queen goodness. There is just something about Queen's DB Barlows...
Also their Sheffield Green Bone.

Some more #55's

You can see by the smudging on main blade that their QC isn't quite up to it. But it's still a good solid little stockman.

Three of the best little carry knives you'll ever see.

WOW! Some great examples of what queen could do in this thread. Keep them coming.

Probably at the top of my "If I only had one knife" list. A well executed Coles Whittler in elk or whiskey bone.

Another Mountain Man.

Terrific bone on that one!

I got this #1L Swing Guard recently:

I have been looking at Queen's historical documents on their website and the handle materials for this model are shown as either Curly Zebra Hard Wood or Birds Eye Maple, but the box says Curly Maple. The handles are wonderful. Whatever it is, I hope GEC uses it in the future. The action is great, it opens and closes smoothly and snappily, and has no noticeable blade play. It does have gaps, and the scales are.... For lack of a better word.... Wedged

The guard is bent

And boy did this thing come minimum ground. I think the edge was 90* or more. It fought hard against having a good edge, but I finally got one on it.

Cool knife over all.

The Railsplitter that Paul posted the other day has inspired me to get out the camera one more time! They are another of Clarence's SFO's from 2005......

Thanks for that info, Dave. I've got all but the Stag version. I knew they were SFO's but never knew who commissioned them. The Green one was my all time favorite EDC there for awhile.

Rick and Dave I think I missed something. Where those Railsplitters commissioned by Clarence Risner?

Yes, Neal that is what Clarence told me at that time! That they were his SFO....but you know he had so many SFO's made by Queen, I believe he gained some influence with Queen when he was President of the NKCA for so many years.

The one knife you are still needing to complete the set has Winterbottom covers Rick! I know that photo is pretty poor and it's hard to tell if it's Stag or Winterbottom

Dave, thanks for the clarification. Not a poor photo at all. Just a lack of observance on my part.

Maybe we should start a new thread that showcase brother Risner's knives. I have a few made for him by Boker I think.
I'll post a few pics later. Thanks for the great info.
