Dang, I have a buck knife that I use to clean game right now, but it's somewhat sentimental because it was a gift from my dad and he had it engraved. But he did buy it for me to use for what I am... I was thinking about buying a Esee-3 to replace it but I am so torn. I would be interested in a 110 if it really will hold an edge that much longer as that is important to me as I am not a knife guy and prefer to have someone else sharpen them for me. So if I can use it a whole season or longer that would be fantastic!
If you want better edge holding for your Buck 110, you have two excellent choices:
- Cabela's Alaskan Guide Buck 110 with CPM S30V (and a Paul Bos heat treatment)
- Buck's Custom Shop, same blade as above
You might also be able to find Buck 110 with BG-42, but it could get expensive to get someone to part with it since you can't get them anymore. Another option would be the BassPro version with CPM 154, but I don't think they make that anymore either.
