Help with 110 Hunter.
I recently ordered a 110 Hunter with burgundy Palestine handle and the anvil cutout on the blade as I liked the looks. What arrived was a 110 Hunter with burgundy paperstone handle drop point with no cutout. Instead on the right side next to the bolster is an acid etched left hand flame symbol with "BOS" next to it. Beneath that is "S30V". To make this more interesting the blade is also engraved with the number "060" with no end of run number. I contacted the vendor and got back an immediate prepaid shipping label but no explanation. Something tells me that this knife many be something special. Does anyone have any info on the markings before I decide whether too stand it back or keep it? Either the vendors very good at customer service or he wants this knife back quickly. Any thoughts after viewing the pic?
Re: Help with 110 Hunter.
The "Bos" and the flame refer to Paul Bos who has made quite a name for himself with the heat treating processes he employs. Many credit him with being able to get the best out of a blade steel. The "S30V" refers to the type of blade steel used in that knife. It's supposedly some excellent blade steel and I'd assume with Paul Bos doing the heat treatment it might be even better.
I'll leave the rest to the real Buck knife experts who hang around AAPK.
