This whole forum thing is new to so be gentile on me. ( not to gentile.. i’m 68 years old and a taxidermist so I can handle a little abuse) After realizing that buck started using a “more user friendly steel ..420 HC (yeah I know why I’m just figuring it out now is beyond me too) I am ready to come back to buck knives. I have gone to mora, dexter Russell and Havalon for working knives but nothing compares to the look, feel and made in America values of buck knives. So humor me please and let me join in! Thanks, Neal
 
Welcome! Great folks here. You'll enjoy yourself and learn a thing or two as well! Glad to have ya here!

Howdy Neil, I sometimes have a beer to hide my shame too...and to hide joy, anger, indifference. I have two Mora's. They have nice steel too. Pete
 
Stuffer, welcome to the Buck Forum. Ask your questions as there are some really good collectors here who can answer them. Buck began to
phase in 420hc steel in 1992. DM
 
I wish I had kept up with things at that time. When I was a kid buck knives where the thing to have for hunting knives. Problem back then for kids was trying to sharpen them. The biggest problem was as kids we did’t know how to sharpen a knife in the first place and our fathers were not much help either. In the following years(many of them) I improved my sharpening techniques but was still convinced that buck knives were too hard to sharpen. Now with a little info. The world of buck knives is back in my life. I even bought the flagship 119 special which I love but am still trying to figure out what I will use it for. For right now I am happy just admiring it
 
Does the wife buy whole chicken, a brisket, roast, a watermelon, cantaloupe, whole catfish, ect.? All these can be cut up using a 119. DM
 
Welcome.
I love the 420hc Buck uses, it behaves a lot like a basic carbon steel when sharpening.
Easy to touch up on the bottom ring of a ceramic mug.
 
Welcome!!:D Have fun!! a GREAT group of folks hang out here!!;)

425m unless knife was sitting on shelf since 1981..then 440c. I assume you know it was made in 1985 as it has 2 dots on each side.

It says Buck 112 USA with one dot on left and two on right. Couldn’t find that in the dating diagram. Why no mention of dots?
