My Taylor Eye Witness one is very nice and the quality is superb. It just do it for me for some reason.

Benner,

I can't see any F&F issues in the pics you posted, no blade play and clean gap-free backspring fit says it's built like it should be. Excellent. Quality slipjoints are wonderful knives.

All I can add is be sure to keep the blades cleaned and oiled as your knife is most likely done in Carbon Steel. Not much comes from Friedrich Olbertz in stainless.

Thanks for the tip, and the help the other day as well.

I think I'm after a two-bladed Jack with a spearpoint main...carbon steel.

There are a couple US sources I know of, but the selection is not great...

Holy heck guys.

This thread kicked into gear while I was away on holiday and I hadn't caught up. 2xTap you've got a great collection my friend.

I'm liking your new one Ben and I well remember your Taylor Eye from the meet-up, it really is a cracker.

Yeah, you're right...

I've been wanting that Otter-Messer for ages...it was out of stock for a long time.

I'm not surprised, it's a great looking knife. We need some pics when you get it.

It is pretty sexy with those sculpted bolsters

I don't think I've shown this knife, one of my favorites...German made, marked "Contento"

Probably not an expensive knife to begin with...just a utilitarian carbon steel working folder.

Benner · **Reply #165 on:** July 31, 2009, 01:50:03 AM

Nice grabs SporK......I look forward to hearing what you think of them when you get them in your hands. It was a few Trevor-Ablett pieces I had seen before that kinda got me looking into getting some.

Oh, we need plenty of eye-candy of them as well!

Alright, Benner might of needed a little nudge to fall to the Dark Side but Sporky needs no assistance! He's as corruptive as I could ever be!

Ok guys, some more eye-candy for your viewing pleasure. This one arrived on my doorstep several hours ago. And typical of what I have come to expect from Queen Cutlery.....Fit and Finish that is flawless!

Queen Cutlery Cattle King Stockman, my favored Stockman variation......4 1/4" closed with squared bolsters!

Blades are made of D2 Tool Steel and nicely polished, bolsters are nickel/silver, and liners and pins are of brass. Scales are ACSB (Amber Carved Stag Bone), and they are much more vibrant than my pictures show.

Fit and finish is perfect, blade grinds are spot on, edges are sharp and clean, not a gap to be found anywhere, zero blade play throughout, backsprings are stout and remain flush with the blades opened or closed, and blade etchings and tang stamps are without fault.......

My kind of slippies!

And it goes well with it's brother which I have had for a little while..........

Queen ACSB Gunstock:

That Queen stockmann is sweet. That`s the type of stockman I like best. I didnt know Queen made anything like that. I havent carried stockman in years but that Queen would sure be tempting.
