Got this today in the mail.
It has a single blade and seems to be well made.
I suspect these are made by Rough Ryder.

If that’s a new Queen, then yes it is made by Rough Rider. I like the bone handles and the Wharncliffe blade.

Tim - that is a good looking knife. The last USA made Queen that I bought was rather disappointing both in looks and functionality. Maybe I will give the China Queens a try.

This one's got good walk and talk and is very sharp.
For the price, $16.00, I'm really impressed with it.

Nice looker.
Ive got 100 Queens and not a single one would disappoint any knife collector, may be a couple of the 5$ ones I got for a kid to practice on might be a bit iffy but theyve been abused.. I do have 1 China with the queen logo and it cannot compare to a real Queen. Curiosity made me chuck my money over for it. it is very servicable.

Good to know... I was really wary when these Chinese Queens came on the market. Thanks for posting!

I have one.I can't find anything not to like about the knife. Great size for an EDC.

This is not a contest but I have two of them. It's the QN010. The second one was because of senility. I totally forgot I had bought the first one only three months before.
They are nice 3-7/2' knives.

I have not been on here for a while, so I just saw your post. I don't think it's senility. I have done the same thing with knives and ammo tools you name it.
I am only 64
I think it's a guy thing.
But hey we only live once.

I have not seen a two-bladed version before, Robpa. Cool!
I have a single-bladed knife that JerryD6818 gave me this past Spring in the POS exchange.
It is definitely NOT a POS!
A nice looking knife, it goes into my EDC rotation every so often. They are well made.

I bought the Wharncliffe and the Canoe. Both punch way above their price point. The Canoe is not quite as near perfect as the Wharncliffe, but both are nice little knives.

I quoted a fragment only to get your attention. Please post a picture of the RR trapper in the bottom of your picture and its RR item number. It looks like it has a US flag and a bald eagles head. I presume it's 4" closed.

I bought the Wharncliff and liked it so much that I decided to buy the entire series. Surprisingly, my favorite is the Peanut but the Warncliff is right up there. I like the canoe because it is slimmer than most canoes since it uses a single back spring instead of two but they tend to have weak pulls so that’s disappointing.
Yes they are made by SMKW who also owns Rough Ryder.

I checked the other and it seems the Barlow is the only one not available now.

The Barlow is a solid knife. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. I’m just not a huge Barlow fan.
