Firing up the old ACSB train again after a short break. This sweet little #2 came to me by way of knifeaddict1965 who got it courtesy of Kennedy Knives at the 2023 Pigeon Forge knife show.

Wow!!!

That’s nice Q. It’s interesting that you should post this right now. I have one just like it I will be listing in my store soon. What beautiful knives this ACSB makes.

Beautiful knives Q and Mark.

... Are they "really" Queens? .... Maybe not... but I sure do like 'em

I like them all T-dog but it is the red smooth bone that has great appeal to me.

The ACSB Express keeps chugging right along. My newest addition was acquired in a trade with knifeaddict1965; very kind of him to let it go.

Queen #20 ACSB Large Toothpick

Q, this fits right in with the rest of that beautiful series.

Great knife Q x10

Caught a bad case of Queen's pattern #06 fever from Ivoryman (he picked it up at the OKCA show and passed it along to me). The main symptom seems to be rapid uncontrollable accumulation.

Started with this one (the original Ivoryman "infection"):
Continuous exposure led to this one (mutated into a two-bladed Schatt & Morgan):
Here's the latest symptom (with customized barehead stag handle):
Prognosis for recovery does not look promising in the foreseeable future!

Great find Q - just something special about large toothpicks (even non-Queens )...

Chugga-chugg-chugg, Choo! Choo!
Next stop on the runaway ACSB train: A pair from the 2014 OKCA show with 154-CM steel, bomb shields and matching serial number 24

Copperhead #41 & Folding Hunter #44

Q, those are absolutely gorgeous ... love the shield, and even after the whole box debacle it's still a winner in my book

Congrats on your score!

Randy

Q, those two are really fine looking Queens!

Agree

Mahalo Floyd & Philip (I kind of figured you'd like that folding hunter )

Thanks Randy. As you might have suspected, the "box debacle" sent The Monkey into a high-flying hyper conniption fit tailspin. Due to his poor short-term memory and lack of object permanence, he was only placated once I had discarded the ruined boxes and got him to focus exclusively on the knives!

I'm proud of you Q, that's a pro move with a side story that you'll never forget, well-played sir!

tell you what ... if you'd put either of those two beauties into my little paws them nasty boxes would have been a distant memory for sure!

For the record though, it's a darn shame that happened to begin with...

Mahalo, Tom. Many people (my wife included) don't seem to realize that wrangling The Monkey on my back is a full-time high-wire balancing act.

I appreciate your support.

First time going through "My Newest Queen" ... beautiful Queens you all have!! Enjoyed seeing them!!
This is my newest ... don't know what the pattern is ... 5" blade / 9 3/8 overall ... think an earlier one in stag. Info requested ... thanks ahead of time!

Looks like a Queen #95 pattern hunting knife. That tang stamp was used primarily from 1951-1954.
