I love the abalone scales, very neat looking knife! I only have a peanut in abalone but it is one of my favorites. Great overview and comparison with Rough Ryder brand, thanks as always 👍
That is really cool; it's beautiful. I love abalone. I really should buy one, or two, or three ( they'd be great to give as gifts; I like giving knives away as much as I like having therm). Thanks for the video; it's helpful, because for the price, I assumed it was fake abalone.
Excellent review Tobias. I agree about what you said ref the costs and the fact that you won't see as nice an abalone handle on a $25-$30 knife anywhere else. I have GEC's, Case knives, Bear & Son all in real abalone and old RR's, Frost, in fake abalone and the Queen City's abalone covers are up there with the best of them
Cute little knives! The only abalone knife I have is that Primble sunfish, but it's starting to grow on me fast. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thanks for the comparison. I figured they were Rough Ryder knives with better covers. I really like those cub knives. Very substantial blade for a little knife. I Managed to put a scar on my left thumb with one when I violated the "never cut towards yourself" rule.
To your post script Tobias your choices are much better, especially the choice of the Barlow. Seems smkw are sticking to a bland one size fits no-one and it doesn't matter what trade name it's the same generic collection pattern throughout. Shame Queens knives look how they do compared to what was. Unfortunately I just see a varient of rough rider by smkw. Thankyou hope my feedback helps.
It's worthy to note that the queen city branded one has a much better grind, and better work on the bolsters, although I'm sure it varies from knife to knife on the RR.
I actually think I prefer the lack of swedge and plainer bolster on the Queen. When you've got a fancy handle like that, doing too much to the rest of the knife can make it look too fussy in my opinion.
They passed it along to the powers that be and will look into it. I've got an update on the video coming soon. Apparently more than one person has said it really depends on the bottle.
Just picked up this little beetle-- doesn't strike me as much of a using knife, not a great blade profile or grind for actual cutting, maybe a gent's micro ? It is cute though.
These are queen city. Are you talking about the Bear made Queen City? I passed on that one. It'll be the same quality as the Bear made Colonel Coon knife.

That abalone is beautiful i really like it on the small canoe.great video partner.atb paddy
Classy knife. SMKW really seems to be stepping up their quality and doing a great job with these knives. Thanks for sharing.
Great look at the series Tobias!! Thanks for sharing!!
I've had my eye on that small canoe. That abolone is just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
It all comes down to that ol mighty dollar!!!!!!! Nothing comes free!!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

That is an interesting little knife. That abalone is beautiful.
Really enjoy seeing handle material that is unique, thanks for the chat
Pretty little things! Probably not something I’ll collect, but really nice to see them. There should always be a Barlow in any series!

Wow, love the scales on that one.
I don't have abalone in my collection.....YET! Thanks for the vid.
Thank you! Ordering it. So cute and so handy!
I love the abalone. It would look great on a 5 inch knife.
Hello Tobias. Very nice piece of abalone but i still like the canoe better. All the best.
Excellent review Tobias. I agree about what you said ref the costs and the fact that you won't see as nice an abalone handle on a $25-$30 knife anywhere else.

Definitely, a pinched bolster and swedge on the blade are nice but I'd rather have a better quality abalone any day!
Kind of reminds me of a Spyderco dragonfly or a we baby banter… beautiful handles
I love Abalone handles, Happy Thanksgiving buddy, :) 😎 👍

I agree, would be tough to collect the entire collection sans the lady leg, so you're probably better of sticking where you are!
Beautiful
Lovely abalone covers, I'd have it as a nice little fruit knife.
I like your choices better. I'm surprised you didn't say a large toothpick
I really like the look of the abalone... but for some reason I'm not actually sure I'd want it on a knife! Perhaps I'm just strange.

Tobias, Question what did SMKW, say about the RR Kamp King cap lefter ?
They passed it along to the powers that be and will look into it. I've got an update on the video coming soon. Apparently more than one person has said it really depends on the bottle.
Wow this one had a lot of different knives.
Just picked up this little beetle-- doesn't strike me as much of a using knife, not a great blade profile or grind for actual cutting, maybe a gent's micro ? It is cute though.
What happened to "consumer always right" ?
Are you going to grab any of the black pearl ones ?
So now I'm going to have to get one...
Did you see the new Queen City knife?
These are queen city. Are you talking about the Bear made Queen City? I passed on that one. It'll be the same quality as the Bear made Colonel Coon knife.
@@KnifeChatswithTobias the black pearl series!!!!! They only make them little!!!!! Has to do with the black pearl!!!!! Check um out
@@jerseyknifeguy6382 Oh yeah! Those are pretty cool. I'll probably get the little canoe and the cubbie in that as well!
They need to make abalone 4 or 5 inch toothpick.
It would be nice but also expensive!
Yeah a 5 inch toothpick would need some large pieces of abalone.
The Abalone scales are beautiful but the knife is way to small!!
