1978 Buck 110

[Drover]

I have a Buck 110 I bought in 1978. What steel was used then? The bolsters have the 90 degree edges, before they rounded them off a bit, quite a classic look too. A few thoughts on what ever steel was used would be appreciated too! Thanks guys.

Buck was using 440C in 1978. Good stuff.

See the 'sticky' at the upper portion of the main page of the Buck forum, for the 110/112 Data Sheet (from Joe Houser). Gives this info and a lot more, regarding changes over the years. Here's the link:

The steel would be 440C. You can check out the older 110 data here:
