    Hi if any instrest I' posting a custom Buck 500  on for sale
  • 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?
  • 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.
  • Kurt Sandstrom

    Ordered my first Buck 110 2 days ago and I cant wait to get it!
  • 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. Mike
  • Patrik Ilijev

    Wow thank you Mike now I know more about thin fine knife.

  • johnny twoshoes

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

     

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

  • 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.
  • 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?
  • 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.

    Buck Knives is having a 40% off sale on most models in their hunting knives line. Enter code TROPHY40 at checkout. Sale ends October 7.
  • Leon Bingo

    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.
  • Billy Oneale

    I don't think i have posted any pics of my Buck's here yet. Here is one that i really liked. It is the Father & Son 112 in the green paperstone.
  • Patrik Ilijev

    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.

  • Patrik Ilijev

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

  • johnny twoshoes

    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.

  • Patrik Ilijev

    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. 

  • Billy Oneale

    Here is a neat little Buck that I forgot that I Had. It is the Summit

  • Patrik Ilijev

    Nice one Billy.

  • Billy Oneale

    Here is a camo buck that I always forget about.

  • johnny twoshoes

    I just got a new one the other day. New to me anyhow.

  • KENT GABLE

    Nice Buck, Johnny. What kind or number is it? I take it, it is not a lock back?

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

    Just picked up another Buck... Buck 118 pre-86'. I have to get me a SD card reader this weekend so i can post the pic's of the last 3 Bucks.

  • johnny twoshoes

    Sorry Kent, I just saw your post.

    It is a Buck 704 and it has no locking mechanism.

  • Patrik Ilijev

    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.   

  • Patrik Ilijev

    Nice pair Pat.
  • johnny twoshoes

    Pat, my brother has one of those Buck NightHawks and he loves it. He also has a 119. It's the classic and the tactical, great knives.

  • Billy Oneale

    Nice pair, Pat.
  • Sunil Ram

    Nice couple of Bucks there Pat. I own a 119 also. Great knife.

  • Billy Oneale

    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.

    You Only Need one Buck

  • MJ Wallace

    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

  • Sunil Ram

    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.

  • Sunil Ram

    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.

  • James Cole

    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.
