whats the date symbol for buck executives that had the 154cm blade?

[durbanposion]

today i bought a buck executive and im wondering if its one of the ones with the 154cm blade or is if its just 420hc, the website says its 154cm, but my 2005 and buck catalog says their 420hc? is this a recent change in the blade on this model? my executive is marked with a "T", just like that, an upright T.


thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

The T date code means that it was manufactured in 2003. Sorry, but I can't help with the rest of your question.

Don Luis helped me match my Buck model 639 Fieldmate to its steel, previously:

I just copied and pasted this from an older thread:

The information that I have about Buck standard steel is:

Before 1981.- 440C

1981 to 1994.- 425M

After 1994.- 420HC
