Question about the shank Buck 105

[ilvexyret]

I saw a photo in the next topic. Tell me, in 105 models Buck uses the same method of editing?

 

[DeSotoSky]

I'm not understanding what the question is.

"method of editing"... Do you mean "method of construction"?

Yes, all the 100 series model knives use the same method of construction.
(for the same time period)

 

[ilvexyret]

Yes, of course I meant "method of construction"

I'm from Russia and I'm using Google translator

"(for the same time period)" - this means that the method of construction in the 80's may differ from modern ones?

ilvex, welcome. This same method of construction is still in use today with Buck's 100 series knives. DM

Welcome to the forum. Yes, this is how they are made. That part of the steel that runs through the length of the handle is called a "tang". Buck tangs are usually very strong. The Buck tangs are similar to those used by the famous Kabar military knife. I think Cold Steel uses the same tang style on the much respected SRK, though I am not positive.

You are correct about the Cold Steel SRK. It is very similar to Buck's construction shown in I ilvexyret 's post. I have heard of Buck knives breaking at the tang from prying or batonning, while I have not heard the same happening to an SRK. I do not know why there would be this difference.

At least buy a full tang knife for that, use the knife for its intended purpose. A rat tail design is not the best knife to Baton with. It won't take it.

Well now you have seen one broken.

If guys are asking this question they likely have malleting in mind. Dm

As soon as I posted this I realized that it must have been done (a simple Google search would have confirmed it). And anyway, I'm not a fan of batonning outside of emergencies, so I'm not sure what I was even getting at in my post comparing the two knives.

Oh well.
