Queen slipjoints - D2 on ALL blades?

[StoneDog]

Anyone know if all of the blades on a Queen D2 slipjoint are of D2 or only the main blade?

I have a cocobolo dogleg jack (my EDC, alternated with a Bulldog "Sunday" whittler) and the pen blade seems to dull faster than the main blade. I can't tell if it's how I sharpened them or if it's the steel.

Based on my experience of sharpening four different stockman knives (and reprofiling two) my money is on all blades being D2. I did not notice any difference between the different blades.

I agree with Lambertiana - I have four - a whittler, a 4 bl congress, and two of the #2 jacks - all blades sure felt like D2 when I sharpened them - they practically gave me carpal-tunnel synbdrome!!!
