I like this steel a lot. DM

yes Sir. that's the main reason for it. other perks is nice but the 20cv steel is the reason to grab one.

Is it just the picture or does it have a spear point? For some reason it looks slender to me. Some drop points like the 482 look like the best compromise blade profile ..

The high % of element (18%Cr, 4%V) is only possible by Crucible's powdered metallurgy. This is like enhanced 440c with added V. Also, to
pull this off the target rc is usually dropped to around 58 to avoid brittleness issues. DM

It seems to me the drop point has merged with the spear point in recent years...

The picture I posted on page 1 is from SK blades website...

A brown burlap handle with a black sheath?

You know why that happened? It was going to be a distressed brown leather sheath, but Buck didn't have anymore. So don't blame us, our eyes are good!

I'm not ordering, not fond of no rear bolster. I thought I saw a nail nick? Preston

No worries brother. I have some distressed brown leather sheaths.

I have to consult my wife when it comes to certain color combinations.

I carried a Microtech LCC D/A every day for ten years with 20C-V steel,it's an extraordinarily durable steel.

Removed the silly 501 photo; have you sold out of the 501 with the burlap covers?

I wish we could have gone with the brown. Would have been such a killer combo, and wife approved! :thumbsup:
