Forgive me if this is a crazy qiestion, but I have always liked the 119, and wanted one in S30V. Do they make them? Would there be any REAL differnce in it and 420HC.? I know 420HC is really good stuff. I have never had any problem with it, and it takes a really really nice edge. The first 119 I had, I was about 13 years old and well pretty much abused it. I broke the tip off and reground it, and kept using the mess out of it. I did not take notice of how well it kept an edge while getting abused, but I know it had its share of sharpning. I would just like to know if the 119 with S30V (if made) would be better for camp work. Thanks for any advise.

They also made a limited run of 119's with BG-42 steel and another with ATS-34. They are quite hard to find though.
 
Thanks for the info, I guess not I need to keep an eye out for one of them. It seems like there is always a knife that is hard to find, that drives you nuts until you get it.


Thanks again,
John
 
If they can't do the General they might as well forget it.

After all, the 119 is just a half-assed General, so why bother?

:D
