Re: Unusual English Knife
wostenholm started in the early 1700s and continues to this day under the ownership of the egginton group. george nixon started up around 1835 and ceased trading around 1860. marsh brothers traced their roots to 1631 and stuck around for more than 300 years, shutting down in the 1960s. i can't help ...

Re: Unusual English Knife
to me, it looks like "celebrated cutlery sheffield."
that narrows it down to a few makers.
george wostenholm, arthur lee, richard race, george nixon and marsh brothers all used this phrase, and i'm sure others did, too.

Re: Overdone Pulls?
it's certainly unusual, but it's not a deal-breaker for me.
the long pull seems a little too low, and the crescent pull seems too large to me, and they would've looked better as matchstrike pulls, imo.
the sabre grind of the blade is sweet!

Re: #73 Scouts with Lanyard Hole Released Today!!!
wow, i guess i'm in the minority here (nothing new for me, i guess).
i think the new northfield 73s look great!
yes, i would've preferred fancier bolsters, but i think the swedge and double pulls look very cool.

Re: S&Ms
schatt's railsplitter is one of the nicest patterns around, in my opinion.
i only have a couple of them, but they're pretty sweet.

Re: Not too happy with 1st knife from S & M "might be the la
the "drooping blade" is indeed a common occurrence with queen-made knives, and has been for years. as you said, it's an very easy fix, so it's baffling why they've never figured out how to do it at the factory. blade play is uncommon, except on their mountain man pattern. i understand your...

Re: A Pair Of Queen City Classics
those are some of my favorite knives queen has ever made. i got a full set of the canoes a few years ago, but i waited too long on the trappers, and a full set is basically impossible to find. i think 100 of each canoe was made and 50 of each trapper, although i think cumberland's website says 100. ...

Re: Schatt and Morgan fit & finish
BOTH have blade play/wobble. pretty common with the mountain man, but the barlow is a surprise. like justold said, send them to queen and they'll fix them free of charge. I normally stick to GEC's and Northwoods... almost all northwoods folders are made by queen using the same standards they use fo...

Re: question on legitimacy of pre 1972 canoe
good advice, justold.
it sounds like the seller might have some *ahem* faulty information.
unless he's charging $5, i'd pass on by.

these were made as the 10th "premier" edition for clarence risner. they took forever to get made, and they are apparently fraught with problems. of all the examples i've seen, none were put together particularly well. i've only spoken with a couple of owners, and neither was very happy. ::...

that was the standard canoe for queen from the mid 70s up until the late 80s or early 90s, i believe. the handles are usually a stag-textured delrin like yours. they also made a "rawhide" version with wood handles. fairly common. since i collected nothing but queen canoes for a while, i ha...

Re: Source for Queen Cutlery
yep, the series xv is probably your best bet.
as knowtracks said, it's a stockman configuration, rather than the whittler setup on the series xx, but the sheepfoot blade gives it more versatility.
it also has polished blades instead of the glazed blades of series xx.
