Nice looking knife ::tu::

That is the second Queen i have seen lately with exposed pins, any thoughts why they are that way?

OOOH, I like that. I love a congress, and 1095 is HARD to beat. It's my favorite!

What size is that? Please tell me it's 4 inches!

Cost reduction? These knives don't have shields, either. I'm guessing it's a no frills offering kind of thing. It is a good knife, a hand-filler and I really like carbon steel blades. This one will get carried frequently.

Has a very high fondle factor :mrgreen:

I think the exposed pins are something to do with strength ( more surface area to stop movement ).I remember reading a post on a electrician knife.
Hope thie helps.

I second that (and learned it here on AAPK). It adds more strength to the bolsters which makes sense in the workhorse-line.

update- one of the pen blades was set quite low, noticeably difficult to get a nail on it. I took a small file and beveled the inside edge of the liner at that area to get better access to it.
