This one is a Fight'n Rooster Canoe/Whittler with Mother of Pearl handles. Blade etched 1987. They put on a good gun and knife show there for only a town of 2300 people and actually have it in the High School. How many parts of the country can you do that anymore? Sundog came home with some good stuff too.

That's a beauty mate,and a whittler as well it's like my dream knife all rolled into one package

Thats what I thought when I bought. I was killing multiple birds with one stone. My FIRST canoe, second but best knife with mother of pearl, only my second whittler, first Fight'n Rooster knife.

That's a pretty one there. Canoes and whittlers. I love em both and you got it all in one.

That's a fine acquisition ya made there, Olde Cutter!!

Frank Buster put out some high quality cutlery and he didn't neglect the canoe pattern.

Finally got another Canoe. A Queen 64 with Delrin handles. Made around mid 1970's.

An excellent acquisition Bruno!!! Great quality and a sturdy workhorse. They make great EDCs if you plan to use it.

Thanks Gino. Sometimes the limited editions (this one is 1 of 200) elude me for long periods if I don't snag one when they are issued. I've been waiting to see one of these for sale and got this one at a good price (about what it sold for new). Came with the original tin Celebration box and the Certificate of Authenticity too!

I used to think that guys were nuts for buying knives or guns and never using them, just hanging them on the wall or putting them in a display. Well, I've become one of those guys! However I have maintained some of my sanity by having what amounts to two separate collections. One for those pristine collector treasures and one for those beloved EDCs and hunters that I use. The first is a capital investment and the second is personal gear. Sometimes the line between the two gets real fuzzy and one of those mint beauties will sneak into my pocket for some depreciation. I know, I'm a knife nut on two fronts....does that make me twice as crazy?

A new canoe arrived today.

It's a Case worm groove antique bone canoe from 1998. I got it in near mint condition with the original factory box.

It's what Queen calls "Carved Stag Bone" similar to Case's "Bone Stag". When they get it right it does look good

Wow....I really like the look of that Robeson. When did Queen manufacture those?

The one I have was made in 2004. I know Queen had been making Robeson, Shat & Morgan, and Colonel Coon knives for some time but I'm not sure when they started.

On the subject of Queen Cutlery, has anyone hear anything about when/if they will reopen and start production again?

Another new addition arrived today.
