What can you tell me about this S&M?

I picked this up tonight at a pawn shop for $65, not a bad deal for a Queen knife. I googled it and can only find that it is the Series 8 version tear drop jack (041906), but I can't find what steel it is. The box it came it was not the right one, it came in a "file & wire tested" box with a different number on it. Does anyone know the steel type for the 1998 series knives?
Thanks!

And here I thought this was going to be a thread about whips and chains...;)

Actually that is a beauty. I am finding the Amber Jigged Bone in both D2 and 1095. I know that doesn't help much but for what it's worth....

Also...a Case Knife backdrop for a Queen knife? Is that legal?

Reading below...I didn't see the S&M on the blade...thought this was a straight Queen...my bad...

The knife you have has 420HC blade steel.
In the Annual Reproduction Series sets that Queen has produced in their Schatt & Morgan line, they have used 3 different steels. The 1st 5 years it was "Queen steel" = 440A, from then on they have used 420HC. With the exception of the 9th & 10th Series sets in which they used ATS-34 in the master blades only, any secondary blades in those 2 sets were 420HC.
 
I can tell you that it's a very cool looking knife but you are creating bad mojo by laying it on a Case logo. :p Also don't walk under ladders or break any mirrors...just sayin.
