Re: How sharp is too sharp?
I had a professional sharpener that used to live in my county . When I brought him knives , he'd ask what the knife was being used for . I said what does it matter ? He then went on about how certain tasks do better with certain degrees of edge . Id say , well , that Kabar MK2 I use as a camp knife ...

Re: New Case steel
I think its a good move . I think their CV is damn fine . Carbon steel is , imho , where its at . Most of my old and older knives are carbon steel and they still exist after a ton of use and look pretty damn good . The whole corrasion " issue " is over played , to me anyway . To be honest ...

Re: Show off your fixed blades!
I very much like a sharp finger styled pattern . Ive retired my old one and a few years ago got ahold of a W. Dupree " sharp Finger " in 1080 . Its one I carry on my property . I find sharp fingers to be versatile as heck . I can get most things accomplished with one . Im not familiar with...

Re: Im confused about the original Bucklite
I have no expertise but no later than than 1983 I bought a Buck 422 that is constructed like the Buck you describe. My 422 is the size of a Buck 112 and is fitted with the common 112 clip blade. Unlike yours my synthetic handle is a reddish or rust brown. Unlike the thinner modern Bucklites its ham...

The knife I had gotten from my step father was similar to this one but without finger grooves , colored black and came in a black and brown belt pouch https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/catalog/buck-knives/53714-buck-usa-bucklite-...
