Hi - I'm not really a knife guy, but I use them as tools and I appreciate a sturdy knife with a nice edge. I have two Bucks (450 and 113) and a Henckel chef's knife and I use them hard when they are needed. I entered a fund raising raffle (the prize was a gun) and got a "free" Lansky knife. I'm too old to expect a free knife to be highest quality but, since Lansky is in the sharpener business, I don't expect they would push absolute junk either. Anyway it is a Buck 110 clone, and it seems very well made. The from-the-factory edge is not as sharp as the original edge on my Bucks or the Henckel. I have not tried to sharpen it further yet.

Here is my question - I cannot find this knife on the internet, even on the Lansky homepage. All the knives on the Lansky home page are tactical-looking, this, as I said, is a 110 clone. I am curious as to what kind of steel is in the blade and if the knife is worth carrying. I guess I could carry it with a Buck as a back up and use it and see if it breaks, but I don't usually carry two knives.

Any feedback on this mystery knife?
 
Thanks. I wonder why it isn't on the Lansky homepage? Some rainy day I will see if I can get it sharp.
