Features
420HC Steel
This is Buck's standard blade material because it approaches the wear resistance of high carbon alloys
while delivering the corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Add our exclusive heat-treat process
and you have a very user-friendly combination of superior corrosion resistance with excellent strength for
wear resistance and durability. You also have a blade that is easy to resharpen. For best performance we
harden to a Rockwell hardness of Rc 58.

Drop Point
This blade is full bellied with a strong, thick point for heavier tasks. It can also be used as a general work
knife. The top of the blade drops down toward the tip, which minimizes accidental puncturing while skinning.
The drop point blade is strong and very versatile.
