    Here's a first post picture, this knife belonged to my father-in -law who passed away over 27 years ago. And at that time this knife had already been confined to the dresser drawer. He was a Master Mechanic on heavy equipment and used his tools hard, no telling when he broke that blade.

    Craig, I really like that Stag fingergroove handle. Very Nice!

  • MJ Wallace

    Max, Great looking stag on the 110. Your friend did a bit of work to remove the rear bolster on that one, looks good... Nice 301 too.

    Rome Rushing, Looks like your Father-in-Law got some good use out of that knife. You don't see many with the grooved bolsters any more.

    Hi, I was trying to get some information on a collection of Bucks I'm putting together I have the 103, 119, 102, 105, 121, and the 106 hatchet. Which ones am I missing and what are the names of these knives? I think there's even a saw. I think there may be 11 items in the series. Thank You. THOR.

  • James Cole

    Thorvan, it appears that you are collecting fixed blade hunters and skinners with the pheolic handles. You might want to look at the 102 and 119 with Cocobola handles. They are great looking knives, but a bit more expensive than the black handles. It's great that you have a 121 since it's a discontinued model.

    Mar 24, 2010

  • MJ Wallace

    Hi Thorvan, Tell us more about the collection you want to put together. Is it from a certain date range, or perhaps all the black phenolic handled knives. Sounds like your interested in the 100 series....

    The ones you didn't mention are:
    122/124 Nemo/Frontiersman
    120 General
    118 Personal
    116 Caper
    107 Scout (Micarta Scales)
    117 & 115 Trophy Sets (twin sets)

    Did I miss any?

    Yes there was a saw too, #153....

    Wow thats great info. I have a little booklet called Knife Know-How. By Al Buck. And the cover shows 10 knives a saw and hatchet.I do not know how old the booklet is. The knives do have the pheolic handles. It looks like I have some knife hunting to do. Thanks guys for the info. THOR.

  • MJ Wallace

    Here's a little more on the Twinsets:

    Twinset 104 (102 Woodsman & 103 Skinner)
    Trophy Set 117 (116 Caper & 103 Skinner)
    Sportsman Set 115 (118 Personal & 103 Skinner)

    And a brochure from the late 60's early 70's, the Hunters axe and 122/124 are not shown, maybe on a different page, I'll do some more looking. Mike

    I´m the owner of an old Scoutlite (Buck 412) and it´s a great knife, a great blade and it is easy to sharpen.

    Nice one Carlos. I've always liked the Scoutlites and Bucklites. Yours looks just like the one I sold a couple of months ago. I put a photo up above in the Discussion: "Think I messed up", Mike

    .. surprisingly well .. no longer any edges on the handle .. no pres pts that cause fatigue about the 2cnd deer .. but, I'm a small person .. small hands .. I admit .. some pretty serious contouring of the frame & scales ..

    I actually did this for my Dad 75/76 .. he used it for 20+ yrs .. after he passed .. I got his 1st pistol (9-shot H&R ..won't hit broad side of a barn) & all the knives .. other siblings got multiple firearms .. it was a fair trade !!!!!!

  • Chopper

    What do you guys think of the Buck Squire? I'm thinking about picking one up, I like that it comes with a sheath, anybody know if the sheath is Made In USA?

    Feb 17, 2011

  • Thorvan Patten JR.

      Ibought a Buck 619 at auction. And I read that there were around 4500 made with the black handle and around 11000 with the OD handle. My numbers could be wrong . Mine has the black handle. The man said he was with Buck. But this is the internet. Is this true and is this knife rare? I paid $35 for the knife. Thank You. THOR.

    Patrik, I think that is an excellent knife. I have the Select model with plastic handle. Really good cutting blade and operation. Very good pocket clip. Nice size; not too big, not too small. Check for blade centering before purchasing.

    Ordered my first Buck 110 2 days ago and I cant wait to get it!

    Jun 15, 2011

  • KENT GABLE

    Kurt-you have made an excellent choice that will last you a lifetime or more. I had one Stockman 110 develope some finish blemishes on it. I had been sailing the Caribbean down island to Venezuela in my 34' sailboat (long gone) & I reckon the salt air might have gotten to it or maybe '94 was just a bad year for steel because my Case Stockman went the same way.
    I returned my Buck & they promptly sent me a replacement in '98 which I still carry. I'm rough on it too! Do ALL the wrong things - prying, twisting-if I bust a tip off a blade I just sharpen it back up.
    I just bought another because I got a good deal on it & I could lose mine but I'll sure as heck never wear it out.
    All Buck products are top notch & ya can't beat them for the price. They ain't as pretty as Case knives but they sure are tough. ( I like & own Case knives too & am a member of their Case Club, just for the record.

    Hi guys I bought this old buck No. 186 bud can't find any information about this knife. I would like to know what kind of steel was is made and what the handle is made from it looks like G10 but I think it is some kind of composite polymer.

    Patrick, Your Buck Knife is an Odyssey, manufactured in 2001.  There were three versions of this knife.  The 186 (yours) with 420HC blade steel and G-10 scales.  The 181 with ATS34 steel and G-10 scales, and the 182 with ATS34 and carbon fiber scales.  They were also available with a partially serrated blade.  I've got one of the 181's, with the serrated blade, nice knives.

    Great knives guys, I really like that custom. : )

     

    Patrik, I have one of those selects, but it's just the cheap one from walmart.

    Aug 28, 2011

  • Patrik Ilijev

    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.

    Aug 28, 2011

  • johnny twoshoes

    I agree, it is a very useful knife.

    I think that the price was cheap for the knife I received, it's a great worker.

  • johnny twoshoes

    I just ordered a Buck 501 Squire, any thoughts?

    Aug 28, 2011

  • johnny twoshoes

    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.
