got my 422

[johnwaynesandw]

I got my Bucklite in the mail yesterday. I must say this thing is lighter than I thought it would be. The stamp on the blade dates it to 1994, Does this mean it has 425 or 420HC?

Thanks,
John

Wow JW, can't believe no one answered this for ya. Maybe they all fell asleep.

Buck switched steels in '94 so it's tempting to say it's 420HC, but there is still a chance it could be 425Mod. Some older blades may have left over and used up as the new material was phased in. I don't know any way to tell the difference between the two.

Thanks guys for the help, I have not had any blades in 425 and just wanted to give it a try. I guess what really matters is that it is a BUCK right .


Thanks,
John
