Buck 327 tt

I always thought 440a was bad steel but with this titanium coated steel I must say it is razor sharp, like scary spyderco sharp and it just looks cool

440A gets a bad rap because it is so often heat treated to about 54. If heat treated to a higher hardness it can provide very acceptable edge retention. Combine that with Buck's superlative blade geometry and you got some good stuff. It is a proven fact that geometry has more impact on cutting performance than alloy does.
