Is the Buck model 110 a good knife? i've been wanting to get another knife.

Yes, as a general rule Buck makes a very good knife for the money. I always sharpen my blades whether new or not. Once a good edge is established it is easy to get it back when they get dull. I use a medium Arkansas stone to start and then a hard stone to finish with. Good luck.

S&W is know for their guns, not their knives. It is all about the steel. First pick a style knife you like to use. For me, it is a drop point blade, 3 to 4 inches long. Then pick a steel that you like. For instance; I am an okay knife sharpener. Probably better at it than a lot of people who never try it, but I don’t have a natural skill to get a bunch of different steels razor sharp. However, I have found that I can sharpen D2, and VG10 pretty well, and they keep a pretty good edge. My newest knife for this year is a Fallkniven F1. It is the Swedish special forces survival knife and it has a full tang, drop point, laminated VG10 with a Rockwell rating of 59. It costs a little over $100, but is a great fixed blade knife. Stop messing around with crap and get yourself a good knife, you’ll be glad that you did.

It is about the steel...BUT...I have a Buck Knife, A S&W, Remmington, and several Gerbers and my S&W is pretty darn good and sharp. When you sharpen any knife, the key is not to mess up your bevel.

I have the same remington knife you are talking about and i used this year to gut a deer. It went through the deer like a hot knife through butter. i had to use very little pressure to open the gut. Maybe you should contact remington and tell them your problem maybe they will send you a new one.

I don't know where to get an older Sharpfinger, but I do know where you can get a similar size and shape blade, but in cryogenically treated 440C stainless insteadof carbon steel. Just put on your own handle and make a sheath for it.Knifemaker's Supply: www.texasknife.com

RE: s&w knife VS Remington knife

Thanx Arthur P, I saved that sight and already have a handle kicken around for the project. A pc of antler I found from a buck that was hit by a big rig. Antler was all smashed up and the largest pc is perfect for a knife handle. And I just got a winchester knife for christmas.... seems ok to me but we'll see.
