Question for Joe Houser about Master Series steels

[relodr36]

Joe,
In this old thread

you said:
"Buck's first experiment with a premium steel was the Master Series. There were 5 knives in the series and they were made of bg-42. They had green diamond wood handles with a small medallion in the handle. Master Series models included the 110, 119, 192, 501, and 532.
I hope this helps."




What steel/alloy was used for the Master Series 119?

Thank you!

It is a BG-42 119. I have one that is identical to your photographs. All of the 5 Master Series were BG-42 steel blades.

Scott, Yes. I've seen some not marked and some don't have the medallion. Still, their blades are indeed of BG-42. DM
