Moki (Japan) makes some beautiful traditional style knives. I'll eventually pick up their Kronos model with stag and VG-10.
I would like to eventually get a few more of the old original Remingtons from the 1920-1940 era. (not sure if I've got those years right) They made a ton of different patterns and I would like to acquire a few more.
I've also seen some old Challenge Cutlery knives that really caught my eye.
Have you checked out the "Old Knives" thread? Lots of interesting stuff there. It might be best to start on the last page and go backwards because a lot of the photos are gone at the beginning.

An interesting pair of comments.
Case Tru-Sharp is 420HC, though it is not hardened to as high a Rockwell as Buck hardens theirs. But Case also offers CV. And there is a large contingent of traditional pocket knife folk who crave non-stainless.
My own opinion on the lesser focus on Buck traditional pocket knives is that Buck has only a few patterns they make in the US. IMO they best working knives available today due to their heat treat, unique blade profile, and overall robust design. But with only four patterns, stainless only, and limited choice of covers, they have limited appeal to collectors and knife knuts.
