I've had mine for a few weeks now. There are actually 4 in the set, Trio, Trapper, Canoe, and Toothpick. Available individually, you can save $5 if you buy the 4 together as a set. They will be serialized and come with a small display box.

The one I saw was advertised individually...didn't notice the set as I was specifically viewing Canoe's.

What's your assessment?

So, these are Chinese manufacture, but using 420HC? (am I right in understanding that the import line switched to 420j2 a few years ago?) Hmm, I'm tempted to get the Trio.

Keep in mind that I am a collector so they were not purchased for use. That said and in that context, I'll say they were nice knives and I noticed no issues. The only thing to keep in mind that the handles are real bone so there is color variation from knife to knife.

Buck seems to be currently using both 420J2 and 420HC on various imports. Curiously, the standard wood handled slipjoints are listed as 420J2 and the HoneyBone versions are listed as 420HC. Checking the Buck website, the SilverCreek fillets are listed as 420J2.

Wish they were USA manufactured.
