I just notice new hunting model line in KnifeCenter with Sandvic 12C27 all has this anvil mark on the handle. What is this mark means?

Also what is this Sandvic 12C27 Mod means?
What is composition?

Thanks, Vassili.
 
It originally was the year stamp for 2002.

But then Buck started using it on their customs. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
that anvil mark is the new logo of Buck Knives and not a 'custom knife' mark
it is a logo like the bolt nail logo of the company was for years..
and the man anvil logo of the bcci
it is being used on all new company business cards.
an outline was used on a knife some time back i think a 532..
Dave V of buck did some lets see of it lasered on some 110 handles but it did not go any further ..
i would love a laser cut out of a anvil on a 110 blade!!

I was unable to find "12C27 Mod" on the Sandvik web site. I think 12C27 Mod may be 12C27M. Razorsharp may be able to confirm if I have made a correct guess.

Since "420HC" is not a formal alloy designation, it varies somewhat in composition depending on who is making the steel. I have provided the composition from Latrobe steel as they provide steel to the cutlery industry.

Grade_______C_________Cr______V
12C27_____0.6_________13.5____ -
12C27M____0.52________14.5____ -
420HC_____0.45________13.0____0.3
 
I am looking forward to see what Paul Bos was able to do with this Swedish beauty.

Thanks, Vassili.
 
no one cooks steel like Bos!
wander what he could do with that power steel from japan?

Unless this 401 Custom really was made in 2002. I bought it 2005.

of note for the major diff look at the B in the anvil.
this logo in on the new business cards at buck
i seen it in July of last year and asked Dave V about it..
of course i could be wrong and that it will be used on customs ..

The anvil is what I had an email conversation with Sarah B about once. The old "we don't know when it was made" issue.

I got curious and found it on another one with the stamp being on both sides.
This one I know as a 2004. So just saying that this anvil was used as a custom knife mark.

Will be interesting to see more of the anvil you are showing.

Guys,

I was working at Buck when the new Corporate Identity materials (Logos, etc) were being created, and I was part of the discussions, so I can answer this question with some authority.

The Buck Anvil Logo will be used in several different formats on new Buck products. It should be used in fairly consistent patterns across the new product categories - Pro(Gold), Avid(Silver), and Select(Bronze). You will see this most visibly in the brand new products for 2009, but a few older products will show it as well (like the 300 series slipjoints with the new charcoal dymondwood handles).

The Buck anvil logo (stamped into the steel at the tang) has been used two different ways, which causes a little confusion among collectors. It was used on all products across the board in 2002 - this was meant to celebrate Buck knives 100 year anniversary.

The anvil stamp has also been used and is still used on many Limited Edition knives, so in these cases it can be hard to pinpoint the exact year that a knife was produced.

I hope this helps, and if I am wrong on any of this, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

- Jim

Hi Jim,

Who came up with the idea of that blue colored logo:barf:. I do like some of the new knife design's and love the charcoal dymondwood handles. However, I will not buy one with that ugly logo on it! Why not a stamped silver or even a black or gray color...the blue is horrible IMHO.

If you look at the new Buck corporate logo on the catalog, you will notice that it incorporates red, white, and blue. Buck is a company that is dedicated to producing quality, American made products, and they wanted the new logo to express that visually.

Since the medallions that are being used on the new products are variations on the corporate logo, they are blue in color.
