When you call Bos H.T. you get the Buck Knives phone line.
Bos does all Bucks heat treating and does many custom makers blades also.
You can get just one blade heat treated of any steel with Bos.
I have used them some lately and have the utmost respect for their work and services.
I have only ever owned one Buck, a 112 folder bought a long time ago.
I have not used it enough to evaluate the edge qualities. I like fixed blade knives for the field.

The fixed blade Buck Alaskan Guide Vanguard has a drop point which I like better for field dressing the larger critters. It is S30V steel and other high end features . Beautiful on the hip in camp too. The edge lasts a very long time. Did 6 wild bore without sharpening. After that it still had a good edge left.
