I currently own a Buck knife with 420HC and would like to try one of the Kershaw Scallion knives.
My Buck didn't want to stay sharp at first but after some time on a diamond stone and a few month of using it.
It now holds a pretty decent edge if you use it like a knife and don't abuse it. You can get it shaving sharp but it doesn't stay that way long. But it does keep a sharp usable edge for a good long time. I've had this buck for almost 3 years now
and love it. But I really do like the way the Scallion looks but not sure if they do 420HC like buck does?
Will it hold up to corrosion like sweat? As I fish, hunt and mow lawns all year long.
Also is the blade hard to sharpen due to the shape of the scallion?
It looks like the curves could be a bit trick to sharpen.
