can you tell us how this one in 5160 has held up and how you have liked it? I ask because I have one too and need to christen it with dirt time.

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.

Aussies are great dogs.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.
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.

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