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.

We need a bear killing forum that’s not on the “other side” where threads like this can go to blossom into their full potential before they get locked. I miss the potato chip bag discussion dearly…
 
Any bear that gets into my potato chips deserves killing. Go get a job and buy your own damn chips.

And while you’re at it, buy a classic 110 to open the bag with. Lots of bear history, feels great in the paw.

Soiling myself on a gas station security camera while I’m being murdered by a bear isn’t high on my list. I’d rather be attacked by a shark. I think that would make for a much more interesting story. Especially since I live on the side of a mountain. Plus we all need to know how a 110 handles saltwater...
 
Is there a video of opening a bag of chips with a classic 110 in 420hc ? I know it’s different than stabbing a bear but those chip bags can be tough. I want to see how you guys are doing it and if you have one fighting a bear puleeeeze feel free to show it ! 😂

Yeah but if the bear slips in ”it” that could be your saving grace. It could actually be pretty funny to watch 😂

Did you watch it? They do have their goofy antics to appeal to the younger crowd, but they also know what they're talking about. They're a bushcraft channel, first and foremost, so they don't do much with folders. (which they admit to) I thought they made an excellent point when they said something like: "Don't buy a nice folding knife, then destroy the investment by beating on it doing bushcraft with it. The investment in a folding knife goes to other places, like making a nice folding mechanism." People who refuse to watch the video

I did watch, the entire video, in fact. After careful consideration, I maintain my vote for less Martin (Marten?) wallowing about a puddle of mud in speedo. Just sayin...

I could pull the 110 out of my boot while it tries to regain its balance. I no longer have the weight of the 110 rendering one of my legs useless…I’m fast now…croc fast… Yeah, I might actually have a chance in that scenario.
