Rich Hale Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 There are several knife steels that are stainless and have enough carbon to make excellent knves,,ATS-34, 154 CM and 440C are a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Dean Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I can't remember the make up of this stuff but a magnet will stick tight on 'duplex stainless'. I'll try to get a chemical anylisis on it next week....if I can remember....one of the hazards of getting old... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Your Buck is SS you don't need to oil it to prevent corrosion. I prefer an Old Timer or Schrade myself, less expensive and better edge holding. I'd buy a better knife but usually lose the darned things every couple years so it'd be a waste. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt87 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hey Frosty, have you tried any Frosts knives? Sounds right up your alley I've had one or two carbon bladed ones in the past and with a little bit of work they were excellent, especially for the price.

Frosty Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have a couple, one a really high quality large folder the other is a promo folder given to me by one of the guys at work. The promo knife isn't much, a serrated blade is a sign of an inferior knife, exceptions noted. We may share a name but I still wouldn't want one "up my alley!"
