    Dare to Compare

    As most know I like and make knives. Check out my latest.
    The Brass bolstered one is my Buck 119r and used as my GP camp knife.
    cost me $120.
    Now look at stainless one only cost $12, I'm going to buy a Buck leather sheath $17
    retire my brass buck for display only. Looks like patent must have run out.
    Blade on both 150mm

    I'm betting the old one will sharpen better & hold an edge better?

    On the stainless one they couldn't even spell stainless correctly lol
    Think most good knives are rockwell HC 56-58, enough to hold
    an edge for a while.

    Just brought the centre clamp on ebay to hold the handle[scales] in place ,
    The big clamp is Henri Boker, interesting history
    Must finish a few off, been too slack.
    @ Alitiss you'll find you usually cut yourself on blunt knives from trying to push to hard'
    Sharp knives are a pleasure to work with. Ive just brought a stainless glove.,just in case

    I have this very knife in stainless and a genuine buck its a 402 stainless blade. I knifed a bull to bleed it out to hang it and skinned it and only needed a steel on it 3 times it done very well. My mate his dad makes knives and he likes using spring steel off old truck leaf springs
