440c Buck 110 Performance

Carbonsteelfan, you have a collector. I don't collect knives myself but if something like what you have landed in my lap I'd build a display stand for it.
Anyway, that being some precious metal in your hands, if you decide to put it up, go to Walmart and get a 110 for cheap and beat the hell out of it, just not the tip.
You really should experience the genius of the 110 design. You may prefer carbon steel but the new 110's have 440 hc, more carbon than 440c as I understand. I don't know how 440hc compares to 1095, but I don't believe you'll be disapointed with it and using a 110 is something special.

Not quite.
Buck's current steel is 420HC. The steel of this topic is 440C. The two are very different animals. The C in 440C has 1.2% and 420HC has .45% . DM
 
I don't grad too many knives Mae of 420 steel,but bucks 420 hc is about the best example of 420 steel I've seen yet,I don't really like it because I like my knives to stay sharp for Long periods of time,something 420 won't do when used constantly.
