Question for you on the Queen 400 series steel use....could Queen have used 420 earlier than the 2002 date since I know on the Schatt line the Queen Steel logo was dropped 1995-1996 from the advertising on the Annual Series of knives...

Thanks Chaut. That some good info, much obliged.
Thanks Imband, That schatt is ats34 of coarse. It actually looks a bit better than that now since Iv worked on it. I have to say its one of my more beloved lock backs.
