I bought new Buck Mayo TNT and read on several e-shop's description that 172 has feature "Buck’s Edge2xTM blade technology". But i can't find what "Buck’s Edge2xTM blade technology" exactly is?
 
You can read Buck's explaination of it in these two pages.:thumbup:

thank you! Buck’s Edge2xTM blade technology the same as Edge 2000 TM?
 
Thanks for the article Plummerdv. I agree with this article as someone who used Buck knives in the seventies compared to current knives. Because of the 2x edge knives cut and slice much better and are easier to maintain.

Yes it is. This was cut and pasted from a prior thread.

We had done quite a bit of testing for edge retention and geometry played as big a role as hardness when you were comparing 58rc to 60rc. It kind of surprised us and was the foundation for the push for Edge 2000 which we later shortened to Edge 2X.

The process starts in Fabrication with the proper heat treat prior to hollow grinding, then hollow grinding to ensure the edge thickness is uniform from the choil to the tip. Then with consistent finishing in assembly you get that consistent geometry.

It is our focus because when we are out signing knives, as my father and I do, there is nothing more embarassing then a dull knife right out of the box...so keeping the focus on proper sharpening is personal. I end up shaving bare the top of my left hand and start up the arm testing edges...it is obvious when I come home from a successful event...hah

Plumber, Thanks for pasting these articles as the E2K really makes a difference in how well a knife slices and ease of sharpening . DM
