Production 110 Steel Progression

[Merek]

A discussion has come up elsewhere regarding the 110 and the different blade steels (420HC etc) that have been used for the off-the-shelf PRODUCTION models over the years.
I need to get this as a chronological sequence starting in 1961 if anyone here has such a list or can point me directly to said information.
Thanks in advance!

Blade's Guide to Knives and Their Values has the most information available on Buck knives. 1964 to 1981- 440C, 1981-1992 425M, and in 1992 Buck phased in 420HC.

Does this apply to all model's of Buck's.

I believe the steel time line applies to most models, but there are alot of oddities, and a handfull of the very rares, and I'm sure stocks had to be depleted, before newer steel went into production.
