Many thanks!
I wish Buck would get Buckeye Burl back into the lineup as a custom option.

I shall be submitting this one, and others, as my entries in the 'Make your own Buck advertisement' competition*.
Anything would be better than the 'Muppet with the motorbike' ad I saw posted recently!
*No such competition.
I swapped out my favorite 301 in favor of my favorite 301 and a couple of smaller friends. They're my favorite.

Today I'm carrying another rescue 110 and the 301 I bought back in '92. I bought the 110 pretty cheap thinking I would send it in for a blade replacement. It came very neglected. The former owner was also heavy handed with the grinder. You can tell the blade is a fraction of what it once was. But I decided to massage it a bit, smooth the grinder marks and sharpened it up. I think I'm going to keep just like this. ...now if I could get it to tell me all the stories of the places it's been.

Two small cover pins/"nails" + solid Ebony covers + "square" bolsters + no dots = pre-1970/1971 = 440C blade.
Wise descion not to get a blade transplant.
Replacement blade WILL be a current year 420HC with the current tang stamp.
They ran out of early 110 blades ages ago.
Even if you offer to pay a premium, they won't replace an early 440C with a current 440C (if available) or S30V; CPM154/154CM or other "advanced" blade steel available in the custom shop, or in a dealer SFO or stealth run 110.
