From the brand

Buck Knives is a 4th generation family-owned business located in Post Falls, Idaho.
Our founder, Hoyt Buck, was looking for a better way to temper steel so it would hold an edge longer. His unique approach produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. In 1964, Buck became an industry leader with the revolutionary Model 110 Folding Hunter. This drive for ingenuity & excellence is what has made Buck the successful knife maker it is today.

Why are Buck knives famous for holding their edge?
We choose the right steel for the job. Then we heat-treat or temper each blade with our patented process to meet the demands of the intended use of the knife. So, the knife you buy is sharper out-of-the-box, holds an edge longer, and is easier to re-sharpen.
Can I get my knife sharpened?
Buck provides a Spa Service - for only Buck branded knives - which restores the factory edge on your knife and gives it a basic polish for a fee of $6.95/knife.
-
Famous for Holding an Edge
Buck is a market leader in edge retention thanks to our steel selections and heat treat process pioneered by industry famous, Paul Bos.

The Blade:
Comes razor sharp out of the box with a very fine edge in a high satin finish. Very clean finish job and not that milky scratched up finish on their lower end knives. To tell you the truth I love this blade so much for it's balance of straight edge and curvature it's been more of an EDC to me than a hunting knife. Not that it lacks at cleaning squirrel,rabbit,or skinning deer by any means. It just feels so good to work with either cutting wisteria vines or carving wood. I know fixed blades aren't for everyone but you've a few bonuses here...
*The blade size is very comfortable to work with, not too big and not too small
*Well the modern knife industry is in such a mess these days as everyone is making lock designs to attempt to match the strength of a fixed blade knife. I'm not going to turn this into some forum topic but from user experience and based on engineering expertise the toughest lock was made by REKAT(Round Eye Knife and Tool).It was called the Rolling Lock and the brand went defunct in 2000/2001.Or you can just save a lot of money and avoid a lot of controversial reviews and get yourself a real fixed blade...step up to the real thing.
420HC Stainless Steel:
When it comes to this stainless I'd say from Leatherman it's a fair steel, regardless of their heat treating I don't consider them a professional knife manufacturer. From Buck though? they dish out the performance hardening this stainless to 58rc through their heat and cryo treatment. Don't get me wrong if this steel was so high end it would boast the BOS flame logo and there would be no need for them to offer higher end steels. But you really develop a love for this common steel offering because aside from being rust resistant it sharpens up so smoothly...very low maintenance and a pleasure to work with. In edge holding it depends on the person literally-some find it to be excellent others think it's mediocre. Digging out ramps(wild onion here in the south),cleaning small game, cutting weeds, slicing off a chunk of bark from a tree for campfire kindling yeah Buck's 420HC holds an edge for quite some time. It will never beat good old 1095 Carbon Tool Steel but it's good enough to keep a smile on my face. Using Buck's 420HC at work though it dulls too quickly on coarse materials...a trait no heat treatment can mask forever from a 420 Series stainless. Not to veer anyone from Buck's 420HC but their older stainless offering 425M(discontinued in 1993) was more dynamic at edge holding to fibrous and coarse materials from it's high molybdenum content. Overall though as an essential knife steel I really like Buck's 420HC-hike,hunt,use it on the homestead...just wish it was good enough to enjoy 24/7.
Leather Sheath:
Made from thick leather and well stitched like any of their other sheaths, buck never disappoints on sheath quality.Probably my only gripe about is I wish it had a button snap. The knife holds firmly in the sheath and through this design it's meant for quicker deploy I'm just used to a different sheath style. This knife is overall in total length of 7-1/4" which means two things...
*Expect it to be size efficient just like the 112 Ranger is but proportionate
*This knife is going to be very comfortable in belt carry
Conclusion:
Between the 113 model and the full sized Alpha Hunter I think people will like the Alpha more for it's jimping and contoured scales to make a grippy knife...like comparing the 110/112 models between standard and finger grooved models. No offense to anyone whom likes the Alpha Hunter as I own one but find if to be cleaver-like despite it's hollow grind...serves better as a hiking knife to me.I like a blade to be good enough to clean small game on my property and offer precision at the same time as a cutting tool and the Buck 113 Ranger Skinner has it...5-stars!
420HC is not A2, but this steel is really easy to sharpen and it does come sharp out of the box. The knife is pretty well built and symmetrical. Hard to beat at the price range, and this sub $50 knife beat out a $200+ knife that is going back to the vendor.
The sheath isn't my favorite. I prefer a snap closure on my sheaths and this one holds the knife in by friction. It's okay for what it is and does the job of keeping the blade covered and the knife securely in place. The leather seems to be of good quality.
All in all, I would highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for an inexpensive but high-quality skinner for hunting.
