I love this knife. The 117 is a great size.
I like the toothy edge you can easily put on Buck's 5160.
And that edge holds up well.
Sure there's other steel that does better, but this is easy to sharpen.

I just went ahead and forced a patina on it, use it, and keep it clean and dry. I oil it now and then and haven't really had any issues with rust.
I like the patina of a well used carbon steel knife.

Use it, if you're not happy with it let me know.

Thanks, I was wondering if it held an edge and I like that it can be easily sharpened.

I dunno, but I think 420hc holds an edge longer, but I really prefer the edge I can put on the 5160.

I guess it depends on how you use it.

 

[cbach8tw]

Thanks. I like the 117 size, the 102 is just a tad too small in the handle.

Happy Friday

Here's twin-set I made up.
117 and 914.

Thanks.

GPyro Great knives you have there. Love your idea for a twin-set. Maybe with stacked leather handles in a combo sheath, that would make for an incredible BOTM.

April 2021 BOTM, Buck's 104 with V3 steel...

Oops..Try again.

So this is Fun Fixed Blade Friday.
Can you guess the knife?
In the snow above my dog Skye she is a Mini Aussie, she turns 4 tomorrow. The owner went to a nursing home so I adopted her.

Aussies are great dogs.
They can be difficult to find if you're looking for one.

I'll play.
The handle looks sorta big.....
Maybe a 119 or a 120......

I'll guess 120.
Final answer.

Big and blocky, I'm gonna guess a 124

 

[riversidedep]

119 or 120. I'll go with 119 since 120 has been picked already.
