Buck 440C vs. Benchmade etc

[A.P.F.]

I like the old Buck 440C so much, I wish they would bring it back. I don't have a Benchmade 440C to compare to. But my old 110 takes and holds a very sweet edge.

I'll back you up on that, rgd. Buck's 440C is in a class of it's own. I have a number of knives in 'super steels', yet I won't turn down 440C, because it is well known and predictable. Two traits I have come to admire.

Ditto.

What kind of home did you grow up in to not like BUCK???
