Buck using Sandvik?

Of the 4 Sandvik steels I checked the elements on, theres not enough difference to make a point about. Should Buck go with the one w/ the most carbon and chromium and their sound heat treating. We might notice a difference in edge retention over 420HC not just in C.A.T.R.A.test. Then I hope Buck notices a difference in black ink balance.DM
 
oh my ... ats 34!*!*!*!*!*!*!@ well..on the ats34 .. i was told by a steel company that some was made under contract here in the usa.. most was not but some was.. so on the chance that buck used some from the usa i have decided to cool my heals on that..
seems i used to get too mouthy some times and felt i had to change the world.. embarrassed as i am on some of my wording i still stand that i dont want to collect a usa marked knife with non usa steel..and that particularity includes the 110

well i know that some of the razer blade steel used is made here..

as flat and post say if it is made here i dont care who owns the company ..

so i am going to trust what CJ said in another post
that buck would not put out a 110 with a non usa steel..

god i would hate to sell all my 110's!!!!
 
:cool:...I have one of Kershaw's S30V Blurs with the bead blasted plain edge blade and it's fantabulous...Terrific edge holder and I never worry about scratching up the blade. A 110 with a similar blade would be a "good thing"...:p

The s30v Blurs are stone washed not bead blasted. Here is a link. http://www.kershawknives.com/productdetails.php?id=376&brand=kershaw
Stone wash is much nicer and less prone to rust. All of Kershaws Sanvick knives were bead blasted and get rust stops very easy. 2 hours in my pocket in the summer and they are covered in rust spots. I polished my junkyard dog down to 1500 grit and no more problems. It takes a very fine polished edge, from Kershaw. I can't wait to see what it will be like with Bos heat treat! :thumbup:
 
Prez, I had wondered if that would'nt help rectify that malady w/this steel. But most knife companies don't do that.So, we shall see.DM
 
hummm i could go for a bead blasted 110 !

Dave,
That Indigo Blue knife has a bead blasted blade with a Custom Shop stamp. Is that unusual? I have to admit its the only one I've ever seen.

David,

I was pretty certain the guy I bought it from told be he had it bead blasted because he wanted something unique. Anyway, I sent him an email to verify what I think I'm remembering. It could just be a poor picture of that blade. I'll let you know his reply.

The foreign made Sandvik (used in Pukko knives of Finland)is very different than that made in US such as 12c27M a good choice,13C26 or 14C28 as well. Still, close to 420HC and between 425M. A shuffling of the steel deck among businesses. What offers the best product to our customers at the best cost to us? I hope they continue to offer the upgrade steels.DM

Hi David Martin,
My name is Jerker Andersson and I work technical support and business development for Sandvik. I would like to clarify a thing or two here, just to make sure we have no misunderstandings.

ALL Sandvik alloys are made at our steel plant in the town of Sandviken in Sweden. We are a company of about 47000 and have operations all over the world, also in the US. But for knife steel everything is made 100% ready in Sweden. From melting to finished cold-rolled, slit and packed product.

Sandviks goal is to make the best possible knife steel in terms of performance and productivity (read fine-blankable). That is why we dont offer AISI standards like 440C, 420HC and so on. We make our own the way we believe they give the most possible value to producers and users. On a personal note I think that Sandvik steel and BUCK H/T is a fine match. I'm sure BUCK will make the most of our steels the way they make the most of 420HC today.

Here is a link to the hardening guide I wrote last year. I contains alot of info both general and specific about knife steels, heat treatment and so forth.

Please let me know what you think of the steel, either here or at the reviews and testing forum. All feedback is value for our improvement.

I hope you like the BUCK/Sandvik blades.
Regards

Thanks for the info Jerker. Hope you can stop in the forum occasionally as we begin to get our new Bucks with your steel. I have had good experiences with Sandvik in other knives. Cheers.

edit = gee guys
the first post here was directed to Jerker
it should not have been
it was only to let Jerker know not every one welcomes a steel
when it may get marked USA and it is not..

well that does settle it for me..
it may be good but
would rather NOT have it in my 110

And actually I don't think anyone has said that Buck will be using Sandvik in the 110, or did I miss something?

If you hate selling them, I'd give them away. Hey man, be generous. Give that *** away. I can be your charity and write off. I'm knife poor, I only got a half hundred or so ef them, chump change by Blade Forum standards.

What kind of steels are in them? I'll take any S30V's 110's. Or for that matter, I'll take any 110's of any kind you have.

Geez, if any of you other guys want my input I'll be in the Reviews and Testing forum. I meant to inform about our company and product since there was several misunderstandings in this thread alone. Even you learned a thing or two 334dave. But nevermind I'll leave.
