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.
