I HAVE A HYBRID 119, BOUGHT IT ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. I CHECKED WITH BUCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE DISCONTINUING THE 639 AND HAD ABOUT 300 BLADES LEFT; SO THEY JOINED THEM TO A 119 HANDLE, BEAD BLASTED THEM AND DISTRIBUTED THEM. I WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ONE OF THESE. MINE IS MINT, IN THE BOX, ETC.

Buck 110 choice of steel?
Im gonna order some new 110 from the custom shop.
I just cant decide what steel Im will have.
I like to keep my blade really sharp and I know the 420 is really easy to resharp in the field.
The s30v seems to be a really nice steel but it seems to be harder to resharp, especially in the field with little equipment.
I would like some input from You who has used them both. Good and bad with the different. Since its only 13 $ extra for the s30v the cost doesnt matten. The knifes will be used for fishing, hunting and outdoorlife.
Take care out there!
Claes

You can read my full review of Buck's Mr Crappie Slab Shaver at:

http://iknifecollector.com/forum/topics/my-take-on-buck-s-mr-crappi...

I received the knife as a Christmas present.  I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with it.  Some jerk on Amazon slammed the knife giving it one star  simply stating "It's made in China, need I say more?"  My reply back to him  was "yes, you do."

I've also posted a similar review of the knife on Amazon the link to it is:

https://www.amazon.com/review/R1O8P790NSVUSO/ref=pe_1098610_1377162...

The short version of the review is:

The blade is 420j2 which came razor sharp but will need frequent sharpening compared to Buck's 420HC steel.  The scabbard is really nice with a minor flaw, and the grip on this full tang beauty is superb. 

If you're a week-end angler that is more prone to catch and release and only occasionally keep and fillet your catch then this knife will probably be more than adequate for fish cleaning chores.

If you process 20 or more fish every time you go fishing and you fish all the time, then I'd say spend the extra $10 and get the Slab Slinger.  you'll be sharpening this one more often than you like.
