Hi all,
and greetings to you all from Finland.
GREAT FORUM!!
First, sorry my english..
to the question through some history..
I have an Buck 110. I'ts been with me from late 80's, I bought it new when I was in the army. Served well by the way, even though I had a finnish "puukko" as my main "choice of weapon" meaning that whenever we were in the woods, it was the puukko that did the job mostly (whittling wood for fire, opening cans etc.. ) Buck was on me there too, but stayed as an backup.
Back on the barracks(?) we were not allowed to carry puukko on our outfit. So, Buck in it's leather holster was more than handy in those cases.. there's always some "this and that" you need a knife for.
Now,
it's been hiding from me for many years, until I just happened to clean up one old toolbox, and the joy of reunion was ..joyful
I have mostly Finnish "puukko's", "leuku" and such, Buck is almost my only "foreign" knife, and I am glad to have it back. oh, sorry, I have Leatherman Supertool on my duty belt, and little but clever SOG Blink too.
And now, to the question part,
I know how to sharpen my Puukko's, and I have managed to get the Buck sharp enough to shave my forearm.. but what kind on steel the blade is.
There's several steelvariations, so what does these markings tell:
110+
Buck
U.S.A
On other words; does that + sign tell anything about the steel?
I tried to scope around and used search, but came across no answers.. or more accurate, I'm just so clumsy with these computers..
Now, back to work, nightshift...
-N-
