Was in my favorite knife shop and I found a basket of these 1984 Camillus military utility knives so I had to have one....then I found this Queen jack knife (with no wobble) and I had to have that! Im weak!

Nice! I have both of those knives. The S&M Keystone is a beauty. One word of advice. Those S&M's are prone to blade scratching because of contact with the liners. I had to send mine back to Queen for a fix.
Try to bevel the liners slightly to avoid scratching.

I forgot that these are 420 stainless. Im not sure how I feel about that. How has yours worked out for you as far as edge and sharpening etc?

Mine is a "looker". It's not part of my edc lineup so I've never sharpened it.
 
Two beauties right there!
The Camillus for working in the garage and general rough work, the Queen for out on the town. :thumbup:
 
Nice ones!

As far as Queen's 420HC is concerned, I'm a convert. At first I was leery of it, for the same reasons you may be. However, I've used it for years now with no complaints. It gets sharp, and holds a good edge! Also, the keystone shields are my favorite of their recent lineup... I have a keystone lockback that I carry & use quite a bit, and it's no slouch!
