Buck 110 is true legend of knife world - like Kalashnikov, optimal construction in any means. Most produced (over 3 000 000 from year it was introduced 1964) and most copied. Initially it has 440C steel blade and for 1964 it was like ZDP-189 now. Now it is 420HC and it is still most popular among working people. Well, several generation grown up with this knife. It is perfectly shaped, perfectly balanced, perfectly grind... Edge retention even for regular 420HC is very good - ahead of quite a few so called super steels and idol steel. For over 45 year Buck perfected it's production. It has no modern features - lanyard hole, clip, thumbstuds for one hand opening. If I am hanging on some construction and have only one hand free - Buck 110 will be harder to use/deploy then most modern knives. From other hand when deployed and already use - it is way more comfortable for long heavy exhausting work. I have four traditional Buck 110s with wooden scales and different steel blades: 1. Original 420HC 2. Custom shoppe BG-42 with birch handle (to be honest fit and finish is not very impressive on that one) 3. Cabela's Alaskan Guide CPM S30V 4. Bass Pro CPM154 and I hve limited run from Custom shoppe with Micarta and Nickel bolsters BG-42. In terms of edge holding BG-42 first, then almost same CPM 154 (note 154CM is different steel), then CPM S30V and 420HC.
