Railsplitter and a #49. I just love the 49's. When I got this yellow one there were no cracks at the center pins. There are now. Oh well..

I was disappointed with the F&F on this one. It was supposed to be a premium knife. Sloppy work on the shield. Slabs could have been fitted better. Blades a little loose when opened.
Queen blew it with this one. Just a little more attention to detail and it would have been perfect.

I'm a big Queen fan, but I've noticed that shield issue as well. I can only wonder what the problem is, as it would seem to me that there should be a jig for each shield that would result in a perfect fit every time, as other knife makers seem to be able to do. It's a mystery.

That's one of the nicest Railsplitters that I've ever seen! Do you know what those scales are called?
 
Love that older gunstock Invoice!:cool:
But I'm afraid the sowbelly would have to be exchanged if it came to me that way. :( As you said it is a top of the line knife and I'm sure the price reflects that, no reason for that to slip by inspection:mad: I have heard a bunch of people saying the quality control has been lacking and I do believe it has gone down hill some. Whenever I received a less that acceptable knife it when straight back to my dealer and it didn't take long before he was checking them before sending....but it always helps if you are a "good" customer!!:D

redsparrow redsparrow -Great call! Haven’t hardly seen the Northwoods in awhile, IRJs are classics in and of themselves.
Thanks, Neal

Thank you Neal. I feel fortunate to have an IRJ. It's a great size of a favorite pattern. An equal end-er that's not to big and not to small but just right. Plus it's blade is 154cpm. A steel that's easy to sharpen yet retains it's edge well. Once again not to hard and not to soft but just right. To me it's kind of a Goldie Locks knife... just right. Could be why my Indian River Jack is covered in smooth blonde bone. ;):D
 
I believe someone has already posted this Bladeforums 2010 Queen Moose but I was to lazy to go back thru all 18 pages of this thread to be sure! :rolleyes::D But I took the photo so I'm gonna post it anyway!!!:p;):)
