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?
The knife is looking nice I think all the collaborations that had Buck made are a Win for the average user or knife collector. They chosen nice time proven materials the steel choice for a utility blade is outstanding it is nice has good corrosion resistance decent edge retention and was and is used by many custom knife makers even spyderco did used this steel on they higher end models back in the day before the powder and super-steels came. I think this knife is definitely worth the money and will not let you down but be aware of fakes buck is targeted by China OEM knife producers because it is a widely known brand that offers affordable knives.
Buck has for a long time made military knives thru contacts with the military (bayonets) . But never made them for consumer retail. I think Buck getting into the military/combat/tactical/survival knives is a really good thing. And winning Best of the Best award from Field & Stream just shows that they are on the right track and much more goodies to come in the future.
I just got the TravelMate Kit. Seems cool. I haven't used it yet. Hope to find a good use/reason to use it soon so I can put it to work. Seems like it would be a great camping utensil. Although the plastic sheath does Not attach to a belt. That would be the one thing I would recommend they change. I see it is now again currently not available. So I just got mine in time. :)
Buck Knives is now having their 40% Off Christmas Sale on ANY knife. Use code GIFT2012 at checkout. Order before December 12th to receive them before Christmas. Also FREE ground shipping by UPS is your order is over $50 (USA only).
I don't know what I did wrong here but this knife has what appears to be a minuteman or a Revolutionary War figure on the handle any ideas? Has x on blade.

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.

Some new Bucks, 3 Buck Vantage and a Punk. The Vantage are great for EDC and the Punk is made to last. The sheath for the Punk is very adaptable.

I had both the Kalinga and Akonua when I was collecting Buck knives around 27 years ago. They're both beautiful knives!

Yes they are both nice. The Kalinga feels the best in my hand. Both are substantial knives.

Thorvan, the X indicates your knife was made in 1990. Not sure about the handle pic. I will have to investigate it more when I have time.
