Just happened to see this post from Ralph. Ralph, no need to "feel like a heel," as you offered to do whatever necessary to make things right.
It was my choice to keep the knife and see how things played out with Queen. It was a learning experience of sorts for me, so the deal is fine by me.
After several efforts to make contact with someone at Queen...which included sending pictures to the BLACK HOLE that is Ontario...I got Jenny's name and phone number at Queen, by calling Ontario. She was pretty nice and apologetic about it all, but she could not offer any assitance, as the Candy Stripe was procurred by Ken Daniels for some very low runs. Since Ken was now involved with Great Eastern and not working with Queen on any patterns, there wasn't much for anyone to do about the issue.
I've got the Trapper, I doubt it will heal itself, so I can't recommend the Candy Stripe celluloid very highly to anyone,
based on MY experience. It's a bit of a shame, because it is pretty cool looking. Well, until it vaporizes.
So as Dan Jenkins said, well before there was a song, in the
redneck (that's for Ken) classic, Baja Oklahoma..."That's my story and I'm sticking to it."

I already have them as an ebay favorite. I will be able to do more once my right shoulder and arm fixed up. Hard to work when there is a loss of feeling in my hand. It will get better. 
). That was my first chance of going ohhhh so that's what everyone has talked about..
