My queens have an obtuse edge but are sharp. An obtuse edge may not shave hair, but it won't chip when someone cuts cheese on a plate. If an edge is too thin, you can't make it thicker, however the converse is true. If the edge is thick, you can thin it to the way you want it. That's why Queens are sharp but thick. If the edge is sharp and thick, the knife-abuser won't ruin the blade as easy and the knife-nut can put on the edge they want.
Paraglock, case, cammilus, schrade, agrussell, boker, parker all make/made slipjoints that have thinner edges, but none makes the variety of patterns nor with the fit and finish of Queen/S&M. That's why you should take the time to put your own edge on 'em
