Hi,
I have a Buck 110 folder bought in the 80s and I found that it was made from 425M steel. What are the properties of this steel compared to 420HC and why did Buck switch to 420HC. Properties with regards to hardness, edge retention, ease of sharpening, also whether it can be sharpened with a regular Arkansas stone?
Thanks very much
