Ok!124 experts got a few more questions please!
1. Was the original 124 a little thicker than the 2012 124 ?
2. What was the weight of the original was it the same as the 2012 124LE?
3. Was 440C better than the current 420HC?
4. Why did Buck stop using 440C?
1. No, I just measured three old ones and they measure .179 at the guard, identical to the new one.
2. The original seems to have averaged lighter than the new one. The three I weighed (old ones) averaged about 12.5 oz. The new one weighed in at 13.51 oz.
3. Matter of opinion.
4. I understand that it was too hard to work with using their new blade stamping equipment. Others can elaborate on that.
