Excited! NIB 560 Ti...

Thanks for the information. Count on BF for the "stuff" when you need it.
 
the 560 was a veration of the old 186 that was a take apart. but many lost screws and used wrong ones and striped stuff.
IF you are going to use it the s30v and bg42 are both hard to freshion up in skinning, sliceing meat is great but on getting hide off your best to stay with the 420 with its heat treat as it is easy to quickly and easly freshioned up.

When I cleaned our 3 deer this year the ATS-34 (154CM in your case Dave ;) ) worked excellent also. Stayed sharp longer and wasn't too hard to get sharp but I could shave with it again! I have not used my S30V or Bg-42, but the ATS was slick ( as was the 420HC)

i love u guy :thumbup: and i know you respect my onions!;) :rolleyes:
but 154cm was first and ats34 was a copy of it.
many switched to it as a knife steel when 154 had some quality issues...
it is heat treat that made it ats any good as before that much
kitchen and table ware was made from ats34 in Japan...
i have not had 154 CM yet so i am glad to hear that report!
check out my new herd picts on page two!

Buck changed from 425M to 420HC during the 1993 production year. 1993(/) 110s can be bladed with either steel. From 1994(\) forward, you can bet you have 420HC for sure.

I used the information on page 508, from Blades Guide to Knives & Their Values, "In 1992, Buck again switched steel and phased in 420HC stainless for blades across the product line.However, no dots or symbols were incorprated to signal the change. Only the tang-stamp year symbol gives any indication. The last major change for the 110 came in 1994 when the inlay material was switched to a more "earth-friendly" laminate made from layers of pressure-treated Obeechee wood. From when the first 296 Model 110s were introduced up until this point, the inlay material had been Macassar ebony from India.
 
Thanks Buck_110, like keeping up with the Customs, rarities, and oddities isn't hard enough, we get mis-information in print:foot:

That book has quite a bit of inaccurate information. I have thumbed through it before...

Then we seem to have a rather large problem...That particular section of Blade's Guide is credited to Vern Taylor, Joe Houser, and Larry Oden...(opening credits on pg 505)... :(

I don't mean to cast doubt on anyone, but there are hard core collectors who are advertising on eBay, TKE, BB, BA, and SharperDeal who list their wares according to Blade's Guide...

Indeed, that is the reason I bought my copy...to figure it out... :rolleyes:

...Now what does one use to try to figure out what Mrs. Malarkey has for sale from her late husbands' collection???... :confused:

If I'm not mistaken, Larry Oden himself has commented on this forum about inaccurate information in that book; until he himself became involved with it. What edition do you have? Early editions were highly inaccurate. Hopefully Larry will chime in.

There is no edition number on this one; I bought it this year, it is edited by Steve Shackleford...lemme see if I can find the cover on the Web here...

There is no edition number, and only a 2005 copyright date on the frontispiece...

BTW: There have been other disputed items on this Forum; for instance info by Richard Matheny which contradicts Blade's Guide listings...

I suppose this is to be expected; the book is heavily edited, and information condensed or left out...and as more records/knife sightings are uncovered that were hitherto unknown, more contradictions will emerge...

I'm going to have to guess that errors were made in the editing and publishing process of that sucker...

Almost certainly. My point was that other members of the knife community (not necessarily members of this Forum) take Blade's Guide as gospel; and probably post inaccurate information in their online sales/auctions... :(

We've all commented on inaccuracies (sometimes humorous) with eBay auctions, but it can be disheartening to see a knife you know is only worth $20 being BIN'd for $60+...and the sad part is that someone usually pays it... :rolleyes:

As an example, whatabeaut sold a BG-42 110 blade upgrade for BIN $95 just a week or so ago...It may not be available presently, but that is a lot more than a blade upgrade went for earlier this year... :rolleyes:
