Razor posted the "knives of old" those were 440C.
The newer (199?'s)110's have 420HC.
I'm not testing, but just from casual use I think I would disagree with him then...I think Buck 440C (the steel; not the edge geometry) is superior to Buck 420HC...in both sharpness and edge retention...
What do you think???

[size=-2]The steel; not the edge...(if you're sharpening both to new/same specs, then that should be a true test)...[/size]
