Buck A fair review of the 110 and 420HC

How do you feel about 420HC and the 110?

  • The 110 is deservedly a classic, but has been eclipsed for practical purposes.

  • The 110 is deservedly a classic and hasn't been eclipsed.

  • The 110 is not really a classic, in my opinion.

  • Buck's 420HC was good in its day, but its day has passed. It's a budget steel now.

  • Buck's 420HC is not a budget steel, because the BOS heat treatment has kept it relevant.

  • Buck's 420HC is a budget steel; they're just being cheap by still using it.

Using that metric, custom knife makers are overcharging us by 10 folds. But it is not the case.

If you sell your car for scraps, do you think that it worth even 500 US$? That's about how much the raw material cost for a car.

But that's exactly my point: the raw steel material price doesn't matter much to in the end price, and should not to Buck. Costs per knife rise with process and machining costs and reduce with volume; and then, marketing/sales will add a margin (not referring to Buck specifically).

Yet, the OP and the video claim it's a major cost savings, it's a "budget" steel.

Doesn’t have to be heavy either.

Just want to add the following before the thread closes: as you can see, I have a couple of 110, more than some, and less than others here. My absolute favorite though is the 110 Auto. It’s just comfortable in use, everything is where it belongs :)

Another thread that can’t burn itself out soon enough. Seems anything having to do with the quality of x steel, the cost of x brand knives, or some idiot online influencer, whatever the hell that’s supposed to be, devolves into this popcorn-ingesting crap. I could be wrong, but it seems like the OP starts a lot of these types of threads.

Meanwhile, web search statisticians everywhere will be scratching their heads tomorrow trying to figure out what triggered all the traffic on ‘Godwin’s Law’. I think ScarFoot wins the interwebz today.
