Hi Johnny. Cheap ? you have the Avid version that is a nice knife with a decent steel a god handle scales with a price tag from 39-55 USD it is not a price point that have some customs but in my option the Vantage Select are cheap I bought my for 16 USD + shipping. Overall all are nice and useful EDC options.
Okay, so I got my squire on Monday, I've enjoyed it very much since it's arrival. It has control of the pocket as of right now, but I do let others tag along. I'm hoping to settle down a bit in buying, so this knife is going to help me.
I usually have two Bucks on me at any given time, pardon the pun! Buck makes some of the best knives around! The ones I have are usually very sharp right out of the package! I recently acquired a Buck Vantage with the Paperstone handle, I also have a Buck Odyssey with a maroon colored handle and no serrations which I prefer! I have several other Buck knives including their Omnihunter 12 pt folder and a Buck Special 119. Would like to find one of their older 120 series Bowie knives at a reasonable price, though I understand they would cost more now since they are discontinued and are now collectibles.
Buck Knives is having a 40% off Sale for the Christmas season. Enter code SANTA40 at checkout. Also there is now 3 more models to choose from in the Custom Shop. The 501 Squire, the 503 Prince and the 505 Knight.
Yes I can just agree with you Johnny at entry level select model you have everything what you need from an EDC a decent steel perfect pocket clip and nice handle material it is medium traction and the best thing is it does not rip your pocket. I also have the Avid and also a small select with paperstone handles. Looking forward to buy a Vantage Force model.
My both select model I have have a centering issue they prefer one side of the liner the Avid had better centering. I think it was because it was a 2009 release I know that the current line has better quality control and they have less centering issues.
I everyone I did get one of the new version Vantage select folder used but I managed to put on a scary sharp edge and repaired the centering of the blade . The paper-stone as a scales material is really nice. I do want to try out the new Vantage Force models but they are expensive at this point but they look promising.
Iv'e been using this 4 1/2" Buck Bantam for my EDC lately. It came with a smaller 2 7/8" Bantam for under $18.00. Iv'e had to touch up the blade a few times, but it has held it's edge really well.
James, Great photo of your 110. At first I thought you had a chip in the blade...when I enlarged the photo I saw that you had cut a little into the sheath, not a chip after all. "You Only Need one Buck" you may be right but I've got a few more than one!! Mike
Nice photo James. You're right; the 110 Folding Hunter is the ONE to own if you only get one or are just starting out. I have several of them now. This year I got the Chuck Buck Signature Series 110.
I would like to remind you all to check your knives and your collections for maintenance. You might discover rust or discolorations or just stiff joints or something. So get out your polish and lubes and give those knives a good cleaning and checkup.
I've been a fan of Buck knives all my life I guess. I've collected a few, 10 or 12 300 series slipjoints. I like the little 305s but I've got a couple 303s, 301s and 309s, too.
I've still got a 110 and a 112 that I carried in the Navy twenty or thirty years ago.
I asked a friend what was in his pocket last week and it was the cutest little Buck I ever saw. Couldn't resist taking some pics and thinking one of these would be nice in a ladies pocket :)
Good Morning Buck group! Can I ask for a bit of help? We have a new member asking a Buck question and some of you may know the answers off the top of your head. Would you be so kind as to look at it for me?

I just love my Buck Vantage select such a awsome value for the money. Decent steel razor sharp and no problem with maintenance.

Patrik, thats awesome!!
Buck really did a good job on these knives, I have the Walmart version which is just a cheaper steel, but it has the laminate wood scales on it.
I also have a Vantage that was Chuck Buck's own EDC. It's a pretty awesome knife to have, especially knowing who used it.

A man just can't have too many knives-Buck or otherwise.

I bought my 110 in 1969 or 70. It bit me in the leg one time when I was practicing one hand opens and closes.
