Hi Dan. Are you asking about the "S30V" stamp? That is the type of steel used for the 110AG.

Scroll down a bit when ya open the following link and it describes the steel: http://www.buckknives.com/index.cfm?event=about.feature

 

[Dan Lequin]

i know it's the steel used on the alaskan guide....but i want to know,it is stamped on,painted or something..?
sorry my bad english!

 

[Dan Lequin]

Does S30V is engraved on the ricasso?

 

[buckman#10]

[Dan Lequin]

Yes, what Buckman#10 says. Sorry I misunderstood your inquiry Dan.

So far as the 110AG... You made a great choice. I feel safe in stating that it is one of the favorite 110 knives of the Buck Brothers here and quite a bargain. You will like it.

No problem Buckaholic

The resulting metal delivers the absolute finest combination of edge retention (45% greater than 420HC), flexibility and hardness (59-61 Rockwell) while remaining easy to sharpen with conventional stones......

I hope it's true! I buy it for that reason....while remaining easy to sharpen with conventional stones......

I need a 110 that i can sharpen with conventional stones

 

[wh4f]

Hows this?

 

[Dan Lequin]

yeah i see it

Dan ... while you can sharpen with conventional stones, you might have better luck with diamond abrasives (which you can get as "stones"). I'll bet a Norton India stone will work well too.

The 110AG in S30V is a good choice. The titanium coating allows for low friction cutting giving it a smooth slicing feel and greatly boost its stain resistant qualities as well as lateral blade strength. The plain rose wood handle doesn't match the blade however, so I had mine switched out for the FG w/ dark streak which looks and feels much better. The burgundy sheath is also first class. A fine package. DM

Yes a diamond stone is the way to go when sharpening the CPM steels.DM
